    An Interview with A Mentor- Chancellor Gary May, 7th Chancellor of University of California, Davis

    An Interview with A Mentor- Chancellor Gary May, 7th Chancellor of University of California, Davis- Recorded in 2026 INTERVIEW OVERVIEW Chancellor Gary S. May 7th Chancellor, University of California, Davis   KEY FIGURES •      433 underrepresented students earned Ph.D.s in science and engineering at Georgia Tech — most in the nation •      73% of SURE program participants went on to graduate school •      200+ technical publications; 15 book contributions; 1 patent •      $13.2 billion annual economic contribution to California •      40,000+ students enrolled at UC Davis •      $1 billion+ in annual sponsored research   Some of the questions in this interview included:  Background: Created the Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering/Science (SURE) program backed by NSF. Founded FACES and the University Center of Exemplary Mentoring with NSF and Sloan Foundation grants. Produced the most Ph.D.s among underrepresented groups in science and engineering in the nation.   Q3. SURE sent 73% of participants to graduate school. What design principles separate a research experience that genuinely transforms a student from one that's merely decorative on a résumé?   Q4. Through FACES and the University Center of Exemplary Mentoring, 433 underrepresented students earned Ph.D.s — the most in the nation. If a provost called you tomorrow wanting to replicate that, what's the one structural element they cannot skip — and the mistake institutions most often make?   Background: Steve W. Chaddick Chair, Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dean, Georgia Tech College of Engineering — largest and most diverse engineering school in the nation (400+ faculty, 13,000 students). Executive Assistant to President G. Wayne Clough. Elected to the National Academy of Engineering, 2018.   Q5. You went from the Chaddick Chair to dean of the largest, most diverse engineering school in the country while sustaining 200+ publications. How did you manage the scholar-administrator tension, and what did serving as executive assistant to President Wayne Clough teach you about executive leadership before you ever held the title?   Q6. Leaders keep emerging from your Georgia Tech orbit including President DesRoches at Rice, Isbell at UIUC,  President Ayanna Howard now at Spelman,  President Blake at Georgia State, Provost Beyah as provost. Coaches have coaching trees — you have a leadership tree. Was this the product of a deliberate, repeatable system for developing leaders, or a culture that leadership simply grows in?   Q7. Often a mentor sees leadership potential in someone before they see it in themselves. When you spot that raw material in a young faculty member or administrator, what exactly are you looking for — and how do you have the conversation that plants the seed of "you could run an institution one day"?   Background: 7th Chancellor, UC Davis (2017–present). Four colleges, six professional schools, 40,000+ students, $1B+ in annual sponsored research. Ranked 3rd best public university in the United States (Wall Street Journal/College Pulse, 2024).
