March 10 - 14, 2025
UC Merced’s journey to R1 status has been an exciting and determined effort by faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and staff. Through relentless dedication, we have secured grants, built Ph.D. programs, and mentored students, while the Office of Research abd Economic Development (ORED) and Graduate Division, in conjuntion with partners across campus, have provided critical support to sustain and grow research excellence.
Join us the week of March 10-14 when, as an R1 institution, we celebrate this milestone together — recognizing the hard work that has made UC Merced a leader in research and graduate education.
