Celebrating 100 Years
Student Health Services will be celebrating its centennial year along with many other campus departments in 2009. SHS was established in 1909 shortly after the opening of the Davis campus with the mission of assisting students with their health problems by providing minor health care. With both major and minor changes to the programming and the facilities through the years, Student Health Services continues to achieve its mission - to provide campus health and wellness resources that enable students to successfully achieve their academic goals and promote lifelong wellness.
In celebration of 100 years of student health at UC Davis, Student Health Services invites students and staff to attend the Wellness Carnival on April 8 at the East Quad. In addition, SHS will be giving away some free items from April 6-10 in front of the student health center. More information is available below.
