As the newest University of California campus, we have the special opportunity to significantly expand access to the prestigious UC system for students throughout the state, and specifically for those in the San Joaquin Valley who may not otherwise have access to higher education. The success of the University and its students, faculty, alumni, and staff is only possible because of the many champions that have given so generously of their resources. For more information about these gifts impact UC Merced and help to shape the legacy of this campus in extraordinary ways, Engage here.
