It is fun, informative, and an essential first step to receiving sound academic advice and having a successful undergraduate experience. Information about Summer Advising and invitations to attend the program are routinely mailed to new students and their parents during the early spring. The Summer Advising Program hires a staff of 25 students each year to serve as general resource persons and to help orient new students and their parents to the UC Davis campus. The staff works directly with the participants leading group discussions, conducting tours, answering numerous questions, and performing other related tasks. Summer Advising is a team effort, and those selected must be willing to demonstrate flexibility and cooperation toward the effectiveness of group objectives.
Compensation includes a pay stipend, full room and board, and transcript notation.
