Experiential Learning

Education for the global good

The Quarter at Aggie Square People, Plants and the Planet experience equips undergraduate students of all majors with the skills to support a positive impact on the global ecosystem. The hands-on experience also led one student toward a new career path in public health.

Fourth-year biological sciences major Amelie Chang, who completed the program last fall, said the experiences sparked her interest in community education.

Bridging Plants, People and the Planet

In fall 2024, a cohort of UC Davis undergraduate students took part in Plants, People and the Planet, as part of Quarter of Aggie Square. This experience allows students to contribute to community-based initiatives that promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to agriculture, environmental conservation, and the development of resilient ecosystems, especially those in the Sacramento region.
