Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP), UC Davis

EAOP assists middle school and high school students with academic preparation, admission, enrollment and financial aid requirements. EAOP makes a difference.

The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) was implemented in 1976 by the University in response to the State Legislature's recommendation to increase the number of economically disadvantaged and educationally disadvantaged students who are competitively. EAOP was established in 1976 by the University of California in response to the State Legislature's recommendation to expand postsecondary oppor

tunities to all of California’s students including those who are first-generation, socioeconomically disadvantaged and English-language learners. EAOP is the University of California's largest academic preparation program and EAOP can be found on all ten of UC campuses. Information about each EAOP location could be found at EAOP statewide web site. UC Davis' EAOP serves nearly 2,800 participants in twelve school districts. In addition, EAOP supports local educational partnerships and provides services to over 4,800 students in our local communities. EAOP students are more prepared for college than non EAOP students. Three fourths of EAOP students complete UC's a-g requirements by the end of the 12th grade, compared to one third of students statewide.

We had the best time at Discover Neurotechnology Day! Students had the opportunity to explore the field of neuroscience through dissections. They also got hands-on experience with neurotechnology equipment.

Afterward, students participated in activities focused on muscle control, memory reconstruction, electroencephalogram (EEG) data analysis, and neurons.

Thank you to and for sharing your knowledge and helping make neuroscience and neuroscience engaging and informative for our EAOP students!

Last Saturday, we were granted the joy of helping EAOP participants step into the life of a UC Davis pre-law student. These students benefited from a mock lecture from Professor Irene O. Joe. A Q&A session with Joe Schneider from Law School Admissions and an inspiring presentation by Daniel Olmos, who shared what it’s like to work as a district attorney.

Our event was also a lot of fun! From touring the law school to testing their knowledge in a fun game of Jeopardy, students stayed engaged every step of the way. We are confident that our EAOP students left informed and excited about future possibilities in law. ⚖️

We hope to see even more participants at out next events.
