The Center for the Study of Regional Change at UC Davis brings together faculty, students, and communities to collaborate on innovative research to create just, sustainable, and healthy regional change in California's Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada.
The Center for the Study of Regional Change
- connects university research with planners, land managers, non-profits, environmentalists, communities and social service providers.
- links university knowledge with state and local governments to develop policies that effect regional change.
- works across boundaries, leverages resources, builds unity and creates programs to meet the needs that no one else is meeting.
