Under an overcast sky, more than 7,000 law enforcement officers and others filled The Pavilion for slain Davis police officer Natalie Corona’s funeral last Friday (Jan. 18). UC Davis hosted the service, making available the building with the most indoor seating anywhere in Yolo County, while the city Police Department organized the service.

Transportation Services (TAPS), Campus Recreation, Fire Prevention Services, Grounds and Landscape Services, communications staff and other campus units gave an assist, as did Intercollegiate Athletics and student-athletes, offering the use of all of their team rooms in The Pavilion. Billy Ray Cyrus used one of them to tune his guitar in preparation for his singing of “Some Gave All.”

The UC Davis Police and Fire departments joined other agencies in covering the city of Davis on the day of the funeral. In addition, the campus Fire Department and the West Sacramento Fire Department hoisted the American flag from their ladder trucks, creating an arch over the funeral procession as it traveled to The Pavilion.

Student voice on Board of Regents

The UC Board of Regents is looking for the next student regent-designate — that is, the student who will become the student regent with full voting rights in 2020-21.

Hayley Weddle, a UC San Diego graduate student, this year’s student regent-designate, will move up to student regent in 2019-20, succeeding Devon Graves, a UCLA graduate student. And the next student regent-designate will succeed Weddle.

The student regent represents more than 270,000 graduate and undergraduate students across the university’s 10-campus system. This important role brings the voice and perspectives of students to the significant issues and decisions before the board, shaping the university experience and the future of UC.

The student regent has the opportunity to visit students on all UC campuses, grow a network of state and UC leaders, and influence university policies. The position also comes with a full waiver of all tuition and fees during the two years of service.

Applications for student regent-designate for 2019-20 are being accepted through March 31. Applicants must be in good standing at the time of application.

The application, including detailed information, is available online.
