A LOOK BACK...
In October 2020, the Office of Alumni Relations hosted the first-ever virtual UC Merced Homecoming in collaboration with campus partners and alumni. This year's activities were crafted for Bobcats and friends to enjoy from the safety and comfort of their home and build community as we continued to stay apart together.
