UC Day will be Tuesday, March 4, in Sacramento.

UC Day is the annual event that brings together University of California family of alumni, stakeholders and friends to share their UC story with California’s elected officials in Sacramento. That message emphasizes the vital role that the University of California plays in:

* Providing a high-quality, affordable education;
* Improving the quality of life for Californians through its fundamental missions of teaching, research and public service; and
* Creating solutions for the health, environmental, social and economic challenges facing the state.

This year’s theme will be “UC Goes Green,” showcasing the public service the 10-campus system provides California through environmental innovation. UC, named one of America’s greenest schools last year by Sierra magazine, is also a leader in researching environmental issues, hosting the new Energy Biosciences and Joint BioEnergy institutes.
