UC Merced
Description edit
UC Merced brings the University of California's historic commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and public service to the state's great San Joaquin Valley.
UC Merced opened Sept. 5, 2005, as the tenth campus of the renowned University of California system and the first American research university to be built in the 21st century. Chancellor Carol Tomlinson-Keasey has headed the university since 2000, and announced that she will step down from the position this fall. UC Merced is now conducting a search for a new Chancellor.
Like all campuses in the UC system, UC Merced operates under the direction of the UC President and is governed by The Regents of the University of California, a 26-member board established under the California Constitution.
