The voting came down to the wire, but in the end two departments' pride stood out above the rest. The winners of the first Staff and Faculty Aggie Pride Photo Contest were the UC Davis Library's Special Collections unit (in the career staff category) and First-Year Experience Peer Advisors (for student staff). Their photos garnered the most likes on Facebook, and each will now receive breakfast delivered to their departments. See all the entries on the Aggie Pride Friday Facebook page.
