Dear Fellows,
Thank you for your participation and interest as we launched the UC Merced Fellows program last fall. As past trustees and staunch supporters of UC Merced, the foundation board felt it was important for you all to have multiple opportunities to remain connected with the campus and informed of the latest news, accolades, and events.
Many of you attended the inaugural event in October, the Chancellor’s Annual Address, during which our interim chancellor Nathan Brostrom spoke about the university’s current affairs, priorities, and aspirations. The board also invites you to join the networking receptions that follow our meetings whenever your schedules permit, as an opportunity to reconnect with other fellows, current trustees, and campus leaders. Be on the lookout for invitations to these and other signature events, and we will also continue to include information within these quarterly briefings for your reference.
On behalf of the UC Merced Foundation, we thank you again for your dedicated partnership in building and advancing UC Merced’s mission of teaching, research, and service. If you have any feedback or questions about the UC Merced Fellows program, please do not hesitate to reach out to the UC Merced Foundation at
ucmfoundation@ucmerced.edu
or (209) 382-4142.
We hope that the articles and information included in this newsletter are useful as you continue to share UC Merced’s story with your family and friends. We also hope to see you at some of the upcoming events listed below.
With gratitude,
Monya Lane & Christine Long
Nominations Co-Chairs
