Y1: 2016-2017

UC Davis' Net Impact Undergraduate Chapter kicked off for its very first year in Fall 2016. Its members agreed upon 3 central themes for the year: Water Management, Waste Management, and Education. With help from the Graduate Net Impact Davis chapter as well as support from its incredible staff advisory board, this dedicated team was able to develop project proposals and strategies for success to impact the Davis community.

Education team:

• create virtual program allowing UCD students in foreign language classes to communicate with a designated "buddy" abroad.
• list of foreign language professors interested in implementing their 10-week lesson plan as a learning supplement.
• foster cultural and social understanding across geographical borders
• examine similarities and differences in sustainability issues around the world.

​The Education Team went on to pursue their project, creating Project Link, which has maintained itself as a course on the UC Davis campus.
