A brown building that is called Walnut Cottage - the new location for the UC Davis Labor Center.

We are excited to announce the opening of our new location at Walnut Cottage. As part of this milestone, we would like to extend an invitation for you to meet our Directors and Staff at our open house event.

This will be a great opportunity to meet us in person, learn about our Center’s programs, discuss ways we can collaborate, and explore ideas for our Center's future development.

We look forward to meeting you and hope you can join us. Community members and students are welcome! We will be providing light appetizers at the upcoming gathering. To assist with planning, please submit your RSVP!
