Dear UC Merced Fellows,
I hope this email finds you safe and well. UC Merced is almost halfway through the spring semester and we are preparing for a return to primarily in-person instruction this fall. We feel hopeful and are greatly looking forward to opportunities to safely welcome members of our community back to campus.
Until then, we are grateful for opportunities to continue connecting with our partners virtually, and are pleased to announce that we have scheduled four additional Conversations with Campus Leaders in the coming months. The next session will be on Wednesday, March 17 at 10:00 AM, and we will discuss the Merced Vernal Pools & Grassland Reserve (MVPGR) with Director Joy Baccei, Faculty Director Jessica Blois, Associate Director Molly Stephens, and trustee and Audit Chair, Grey Roberts. The Board of Trustees directed support to the MVPGR through its impact fund for the past two years, and the team is excited to share updates and the vision of the project. Click here to register, and view the full schedule here. You are welcome to extend invitations to others that may be interested in sessions as well.
On behalf of UC Merced, thank you for your continued support of our mission and our incredible students. Should you have any questions or comments to share, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at ucmfoundation@ucmerced.edu or by phone at (209) 382-4142.
Warm regards,
Stephanie
Stephanie Sia
Director

Following Bob's remarks, the board shared their appreciation and celebrated with a virtual round of applause. |
