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!
