Good morning, Davis.

The Face to Face series at UC Davis features a range of episodes that highlight topics from Chancellor May’s campus insights to Davis students launching a seizure-prediction startup—each story bringing a new perspective to academic and community innovations.

The series continues to showcase a legacy of inclusion and progressive ideas that engage local audiences.

On Tuesday, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors reallocated $3.2 million from Crisis Now funds & approved an MHSA innovation plan following a staff recommendation that guides future mental health services in the county.

Community groups were moved from their long-used C Street site to an unshaded spot in Central Park at Davis Farmers Market on April 22—resulting in only three visitors at 11 a.m. and fewer groups present.

City officials claim the space is managed by a private market board while many groups will speak at the City Council meeting on May 6 to address concerns over free speech.
