“My advice on how to find your
UC Davis community is to start scrolling. Jumping into the UCD social media
ecosystem is a great way to learn who you vibe with.
Everyone posts about their events and their communities, and
tries to be helpful so don’t be afraid to DM. I can promise
you that the folks behind @UCDavis are always happy to help! Social media directory: www.ucdavis.edu/news/ social-media/follow-us.”
