Each year a theme is chosen as the focus point of the conference. This year we are proud to present to you our theme, A Moment of Exploration. Students had an opportunity to explore not just only UC Davis, but also the reasons that led them up to this point in their academic life. Evening workshops were dedicated to challenge high school students in reflecting on who they were, who they are now, and who they will be in the future. This event aims to give all students a space for individual development and a space to learn from each other. By informing and helping them be aware of their space and foundation, they will be able to retain themselves and know their support.
This year, Judy Chang and Shang Her accepted over 16 students for this intimate experience. This 4 days and 3 nights conference is definitely 1 of the best memories to remember.
