Dear Trustees,
As we continue to navigate the changing environment, UC Merced is doing all that we can to ensure the safety of our community and meet the needs of our incredible and resilient students. In addition to your generous support to the
Trustees’ Impact Fund
, many of you have contributed to the
Student Emergency Fund
to provide emergency funding to UC Merced students. We cannot thank you enough for your ongoing investment that supports the wellbeing of our students and their continued success.
With shelter-in-place and social distancing currently being practiced, both the May Executive Board Meeting and June Full Board Meeting will be conducted virtually. We are working on plans for those meetings now and will be sending additional details in the coming weeks. Dates for the remainder of the year, as well as next year, are included in this newsletter below.
As previously shared, all other large events and meetings have been canceled or postponed, and we are tracking affected
campus events here
with regular updates. This includes this week's planned UC Merced Day in Sacramento and the Ma Kelley Memorial Golf Tournament and Building Future Champions Dinner and Auction. Updated plans for rescheduled events will be communicated in the future.
For the meantime, we have gathered some content and resources offered by UC Merced that may provide some much-needed respite from coverage on the COVID-19 crisis. We hope you enjoy.
Thank you all again for being a part of our community, and please stay safe and take great care of yourselves and your loved ones.
Best,
E. Edw. Klotzbier
Vice Chancellor
President, UC Merced Foundation
Lisa Pollard Carlson
Assistant Vice Chancellor
