UC Merced Alumni

Had a wonderful visit this week to @ucmerced. The campus is on the cutting edge of higher ed. Students and faculty are leading the way to create a more accessible, relevant, and rigorous learning experience. We have a lot to learn from them. I'll be sharing more about my visit on my Substack, The Gold and the Blue, Volume 22, soon.

Honored to serve as Governing Board Chair of @HACUNews and to convene the opening plenary of the 31st Annual Capitol Forum. “This is the moment for HSIs to lead.” Proud to stand alongside colleagues across the country as we advance this vital work—together. @UCMerced
