UC Merced Staff Assembly

🌺 Staff Appreciation Week 2026 Recap 🌴

Last week, we had the opportunity to celebrate the incredible staff who help make UC Merced such a special place.

From service awards and creative workshops to Kona Ice, kittens, karaoke, and our picnic at the lake, it was a week full of appreciation, connection, and community.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, partnered with us, and helped make Staff Appreciation Week 2026 such a memorable experience. 💙💛

We loved celebrating with you and are already looking forward to next year!
