ARCHIVE: March 06, 2024Join us as Hala Kurdi Cozadd facilitates a conversation with Dr. Helene Dillard, dean of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Blossoming beyond her childhood curiosities of plants, mold and mildew, their discussion will dive into her journey of collaboration and commitment from plant pathologist to distinct, multi-faceted community leader and retiring dean.
We invite you to engage in this ‘spore’tacular conversation as Dr. Dillard shares insights, challenges and triumphs that have led to her legacy of positive impact on the UC Davis community and women in her field.
[Video Description: The video begins with a
series of looping slides featuring quotes, statistics, a purpose statement and
information about an award opportunity. These visuals are accompanied by light
jazz music, creating a welcoming tone.
We are introduced to

She appears individually on screen in a medium close-up against an office
setting. She welcomes viewers and provides introductory context about Helene
Dillard, dean of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at UC
Davis. During this introduction, a visual of Dean Dillard with her name and
title appears. Sallie-Grace Tate then introduces the moderator, Hala Kurdi Cozadd,
who appears alongside Dean Dillard in a side-by-side format. Both are shown in
a professional, conversational setting, speaking directly to the camera.
As the video progresses,
the format transitions into a moderated question-and-answer discussion led by
Hala. The conversation focuses on Dean Dillard’s professional journey,
leadership experiences and perspectives on growth and impact within her field.
The setting remains
consistent throughout the discussion, with speakers presented in stable,
professional backgrounds. Visual composition stays focused on the speakers,
with no additional graphics, text or scene changes during the main
