EPISODE 51: At UC Davis, a full college experience for non-degree scholars
Friday, 19 December, 2025
Blake and Ishaan are loving life on campus, taking classes and working at internship jobs.Both are part of the UCDavis Redwood SEED Scholar program, which supports California students (ages 18-23) on the spectrum (and with other learning differences) who want a full college experience. For Blake, now a third-year student, that includes the program's foundational classes in math and language arts, plus a choice of classes from all that's offered across UCDavis. One of his faves so far: a quarter spent learning about the geology of national parks. Plus, Blake has two very different internships- take a listen to hear more. Ishaan also feels the program is a perfect match for him. Now in his second year, Ishaan enjoyed dorm life from the start. He is super involved with his internship supporting the volleyball teams. Academically, Ishaan has chosen a mix of classes and appreciates the peer mentors and tutors. These guys can't say enough great things about the whole experience- take a listen to hear more!Support the show
