Appreciates
James Nardello (right), Assistant Director, Transportation and Parking Services
"I appreciate James and his team because of the outstanding support they offer and their top-notch customer service. James has an enthusiastic attitude, charismatic demeanor and passion for helping fulfill the UC Merced mission. James helped the Merced Vernal Pools and Grassland Reserve (MVPGR) this spring with event signage for tours and workshops. He went above and beyond by taking photos near signage of special groups who went on MVPGR tours, and also helped with wildlife safety on campus by helping with signage placement for fledging owls and flagging for nesting birds. James and his team are part of what makes the UC Merced community so great and so special!"
