King Hall Members Receive Chancellor’s Awards for Diversity and Community
UC Davis School of Law Professor Andrea Cann Chandrasekher and Information Technology staff member Andrea Lopez Arguello received the 2024 Chancellor’s Achievement Awards for Diversity and Community.
Now in its 21st year, these prestigious awards honor outstanding efforts embodying community principles.
Chandrasekher received the Academic Senate award and Lopez Arguello earned the Undergraduate award.
Chandrasekher’s research lies within the fields of empirical arbitration and criminal justice public policy.

In her criminal justice-related work, she has investigated many topics including policing, the relationship between home foreclosures and crime, and traffic accidents.

She has been part of the Mentorship for Undergraduate Research Participants in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MURPPS), and was one of the team members that represented and won first place at the First Nations Launch competition sponsored by NASA and the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium in 2021. In addition to research, Lopez Arguello has contributed to the Summer Science Internship Program and after school instruction at River City High School (RCHS), where she talks to high school students about UC Davis and connects them to resources as they explore higher education.
