Over 300 registered student organizations at UC Davis, including cultural, social, religious, political, ethnic, academic, international, recreational, performing and service groups, provide students and the entire campus with important educational experiences. The Student Programs and Activities Center registers these diverse groups and provides educational programs, advising and support regarding activities, event planning, leadership development, conflict resolution, resources and campus policies. Through participation in these organizations, students have the opportunity to meet friends, clarify values, apply classroom learning, gain a sense of accomlishment, develop role models and learn to work cooperatively with others.
In addition to the subunits described below, the Student Programs and Activities Center administers a number of campus programs: Activities Faire, Club Finance Council, College Bowl, Danzantes del Alma folkloric dance troupe, leadership training programs, campus service awards, and liaison to fraternities and sororities. Center staff assist individual students who want to become involved in activities or start new organizations. All students are encouraged to drop by the Center to explore these "hands-on" experiences that reinforce personal and academic development in college as well as prepare them for future careers.
Cultural Days is an annual series of programs celebrating the diverse ethnic cultures of the university community. Programs include African Continuum, Asian Pacific Cultural Week, La Raza Cultural Days and the Native American Powwow. Everyone is invited to share in these programs featuring speakers, workshops, films, entertainment and family events.
The Cal Aggie Marching Band entertains spectators at athletic, campus and community events. As one of the last remaining "student-run" bands in the nation, the band has a style and personality all its own. The UC Davis Spirit Squad, a group of talented and enthusiastic dancers, stunt team members and gymnasts, travels and performs with the band.
