While no single characteristic defines our UC Merced Alumni Association Board members, they are all high-energy enthusiasts of the university, who hold at least one UC Merced degree (either undergraduate or graduate), and have a true desire to positively engage other UC Merced alumni in the life of the university.

Board Member Responsibilities

• Attend Meetings — Board members are expected to attend or participate virtually in meetings of the UC Merced Alumni Association Board.

• Represent Their Fellow Alumni — Board members are expected to represent the entire UC Merced Alumni Association in their decision making process.
• Serve as Advocates for UC Merced — Board members are expected to serve as advocates of UC Merced, supporting the mission of the university and encouraging alumni involvement in university initiatives.
• Leverage Personal Networks -- Board members are expected to encourage their UC Merced network to get engaged in alumni association programs.
