2010 Alum Jessica Anderson to Speak at UC Merced Fall Commencement
When Jessica Anderson first visited UC Merced as a high school senior, there wasn’t a campus to see.
“They couldn’t bring us to campus because it was under construction,” she recalled. “They were showing us the fields and plans for things that didn’t exist yet.”
Anderson, who grew up in San Diego, had expected she’d attend an established campus. But, on that tour in 2005, she realized UC Merced would give her a unique chance to be a pioneer — an opportunity she couldn’t pass up.
