By incorporating the program’s core principles of uncom- mon engineering, quality balance of life and excellence with class, the Aggies thrived both on and off the field, and built the foundation for the program’s #AGScension. In Hawkins’ second year at the helm, he guided UC Davis to a 10-3 record and a share of the Big Sky Conference cham- pionship.
