When I returned back to Merced this year, I was very surprised about the size of the new UC Merced campus. I grew up not far from the campus, and when I was a kid I frequently walked down the bike trail to Lake Yosemite.
I remember when they first built a golf course in the current location of the campus. The golf course eventually closed, and I can remember the excitement and pride that the city felt when the campus was announced.
I had lived in Seattle for a very long time (with the exception of a year in Fresno between 2003-2004), and I was very surprised when I returned for a visit in 2009 to see the campus.
This picture was taken a few weeks before the visit of Michelle Obama to the campus. This poster was an open call for volunteers to assist during the graduation ceremony.
