Engagement

Long before an exciting new building breaks ground or a renovation project launches on campus, Lorin Torbitt can be found “knee deep in a spreadsheet,” planning, analyzing, and reporting on potential future projects in her role as associate director of Capital Planning.

“A career in sustainability involves wearing a lot of hats,” according to Carla Fresquez, engagement program manager in UC Davis Sustainability, “including progressing UC Davis and the larger University of California sustainability goals surrounding decarbonization and climate resiliency.”

Staff Profile: Jenny Fortuna

If you happen to glance up when you enter the large atrium in the Student Community Center, you’ll notice large skylights of different shades of blues and greens adding color to the space — part of Jenny Fortuna’s vibrant mark on campus. Fortuna works as a Interiors and Furniture Services project manager at Design and Construction Management, a position she came to after  13 years at UC Davis Design Services. Through her work in both units, Fortuna has been dedicated to bringing fun to projects she works on.

Building Excellence

In the past two decades, philanthropic support has played a vital role in funding the construction of state-of-the-art facilities that support UC Davis’ objectives, including providing students with a world-class education and supporting impactful cutting-edge research.
