In the fall of 2023, a group of seven students took part in UC Davis' Quarter at Aggie Square program called Plants, People, and the Planet. This program provided a unique combination of experiential learning opportunities, community engagement, and coursework, the students explored the multifaceted dimensions of sustainable living and environmental stewardship. 

Not long after Quarter at Aggie Square launched in fall 2020, students quickly found success through the immersive, undergraduate academic experience. Some participants were admitted to prestigious graduate programs and others earned competitive internship opportunities. This year, one team of undergraduates found success by creating not one, but two innovations as a result of their Experience last fall.
