The University of California, Davis, may become an academic harbor where some Puerto Rican scholars continue their scholarship in the wake of the devastation Hurricane Maria wrought on their island.

UC Davis sent a survey Friday to members of its Academic Senate and Academic Federation to ask about their ability to help Puerto Rican scholars who could benefit from temporarily relocating to UC Davis.

Graduate Studies has named Jeanelle Hope, Ph.D. candidate in Cultural Studies, the Graduate Student Assistant to the Dean of Graduate Studies and to the Chancellor (GSADC) for the 2017-2018 academic year.
