Marya Welch Initiative

For Women's Athletics

We are pleased to announce the newest initiative for UC Davis Athletics, named in honor of longtime administrator and pioneer of women's athletics, Marya Welch.

The purpose of the Marya Welch Initiative is to provide new, recurring, and comprehensive support for women's athletics at UC Davis. Additionally, we hope to raise awareness by recruiting and retaining members, increasing visibility for UC Davis's 14 NCAA women's sports, raising special project funds, and increasing participation at women's contests.
