Professor Paul Griffin on why climate risk is reshaping business

I chose UC Davis for its rigorous, analytics-driven curriculum and its unbeatable San Francisco location — the perfect blend of academic depth and real-world industry exposure.
Working with classmates deepens our understanding and builds friendships. The professors are great—they care about our success and are always ready to help with questions about classes or our futures. This mix of diversity, teamwork and support makes me excited to study at UC Davis and grow in such a wonderful place.
I chose UC Davis because of the close-knit community. I loved how the MPAc program was small, so all us cohort members would become a family. I knew I would make life-long friends if I chose the MPAc program at UC Davis. Also, I chose UC Davis because I was confident that this program would prepare me for my future as an accountant.
Both of these have proven to be true, as I have made amazing friends, and have acquired knowledge and skills that will hopefully set me up for success in my career.
