Sometime in the spring of 2020, School of Medicine Dean Allison Brashear started using the term “Virtual Aggie Square” to describe the teamwork between UC Davis faculty and staff involved in COVID-19 research. That pathbreaking, cross-causeway collaboration captured the spirit of Aggie Square, since one of the project’s fundamental goals is making it easier for all of us to work across the university’s disciplines, departments and schools. 

The “Life Sciences Workforce Training Collaborative” will be a new feature of Continuing and Professional Education (or CPE for short) that takes full advantage of the university, city of Sacramento, and industry partners coming together to invent Aggie Square. 

The Aggie Square team is busy working with our UC Davis colleagues to lay the foundation for community-facing initiatives at our Sacramento innovation campus.
