EEOP (the Educational Enrichment and Outreach Program) is administered by the College of Biological Sciences to foster diversity among undergraduates in life sciences at UC Davis. EEOP provides opportunities for both lower division and upper division students from historically underrepresented groups, disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with disabilities. The programs support academic success, professional and personal development, and experience in biological research.
