1 IDEAS INTO ACTION | Our students collaborate in global, national and regional business and investment competitions. A team of UC Davis MBA students advanced to the semifinals of the Nespresso Sustainability MBA Challenge 2014 for their innovative concept for sustainable quality coffee sourcing. The challenge inspired 59 proposals from business schools around the world.
2 GIVING BACK | MBA Challenge for Charity draws on the talents, energy and philanthropic efforts of students from nine top West Coast business schools. Our chapter supports the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento, the Northern California Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity.

She offers a vast energy sector network to assist our MBA students.
5 LEADING WITH INTEGRITY | Believing that integrity is a cornerstone of leadership, students begin their MBA experience with a student-initiated ethics pledge to “complete my degree with honesty and integrity” and to
“hold myself and my classmates to the highest standards of honor from this day forward.”
6 MEET WARREN | Billionaire businessman and philanthropist Warren Buffett has hosted more than 200 UC Davis MBA students at Berkshire Hathaway’s headquarters in Omaha since 2005. He praised our MBAs:
“There's a lot more to education than just the basic curriculum and UC Davis should be proud of turning out first-rate human beings.”
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP | Our annual high-profile “UC Davis Study of California Women Business Leaders” tracks the number of women in the C-suites and board rooms of the largest public companies in the state. The bottom line: the glass ceiling persists.
