The Lotus Mana Center aims to create a space of care and support for all students at UC Davis. Visit us at our center in the Memorial Union to learn, engage, and grow together.
Studying with the Lotus Mana Center
The Lotus Mana Center offers open study areas, lounge seating, and collaborative tables that foster both focus and connection. Students are invited to use the Center as a place to study, rest, or gather between classes. The Center is a space that reflects care, belonging, and community.
In addition to study spaces, the Center regularly hosts programs and cultural events that celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander identities while remaining open and welcoming to all UC Davis students, staff, and faculty. Larger programs are hosted at the Lotus Mana Center after advising appointments are concluded on weekdays.
Advising Appointments
Our advising and student support services are now offered in person at the Lotus Mana Center. Students can meet with our Academic Success Team to discuss academic questions, mentorship, leadership development, or ways to get involved on campus.
Appointments can be scheduled on OASIS or by using this link https://bit.ly/AandPIAdvising. BASC drop-in advising is also available on Tuesdays in Winter Quarter from 4pm-5pm.
