Admitted Student Program Attracts Prospective Students

The Admitted Student Program was established by the department three years ago to encourage prospective students to select UC Davis. This year, 396 individuals admitted to one of our two animal Science Majors for Fall 1997 were sent personal invitations to visit the department during Spring Quarter. One-hundred four prospective students, along with parents, siblings, and friends accepted our invitation and were given a two-hour introduction to the department including faculty presentations, a question and answer period, and a walking tour of some of our animal facilities (see photo below). The department is expecting a record number of freshman to enroll in our programs in September.
