MANY THANKS TO OUR ALUMNI...

Many alumni events provided by the UC Merced Alumni Association, are made possible thanks to the philanthropic support of our generous Alumni Donors. Through support to the UC Merced Alumni Journey Fund we are able to continue to provide high quality events at no cost to alumni and friends. You can make a donation of any amount here to help us reach new areas and new alumni. Cheers to building the future in the heart of California…and beyond!

When Traditional Career Advice Doesn't Fit Your Brain: ADHD at Work
Thursday, September 17 | Noon PT

Many professionals with ADHD feel like they’re not living up to their potential at work—but aren’t always sure why. Challenges with focus, follow-through, communication, and managing competing demands can impact performance, even when ability is not the issue. This session offers a practical approach to understanding and navigating ADHD in the workplace.

Participants will learn how these patterns show up day-to-day, how they affect productivity and collaboration, and what to do about them. The workshop focuses on strategies for managing focus and follow-through, as well as identifying or adapting work environments that better support how you function. Register today at ucm.edu/va4g7q.
