Dear Trustees,
Thank you to all that were able to make it to Merced last week for our board of trustees activities. It was a productive day with fruitful discussions around the great progress and impact of our foundation board as well as the extensive development taking place both on campus with the 2020 Project and around the city of Merced. We were fortunate to welcome four trustees for their first board meeting: Kate Ecker, Yukiko Kojima, Parwinder Samran, and Antonio Villaraigosa. Many of you also joined for the “Future of Civic Engagement” Chancellor’s Speaker Series event the evening prior with Chancellor Nathan Brostrom and incoming trustee and former mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa.
Thank you for your engagement, leadership, and support of this great institution. We hope to see you at some of our upcoming events before the board reconvenes on Wednesday, June 17.
Best,
