A Conversation With Soledad O’Brien

Women & Philanthropy

Women & Philanthropy at UC Davis is united by the transformative power of philanthropy and the belief that anyone can be a philanthropist. It does not matter how much or where we give—it is the shared understanding that improving the world begins with us supporting one another.

We are working to build an inclusive future that celebrates the visionaries who inspire the next generation of leaders. We are creating a network of philanthropists and leaders who support UC Davis’ mission to make the world a better place. We are transforming UC Davis and the broader communities by activating the power of women’s philanthropy and leadership.

Program Flow

The program runs approximately 2.5 hours, including a 20-minute intermission. 

Following the program, Soledad O’Brien and Dr. Amishi Jha will be hosting a book signing in the lobby.
