The process of having to find a college or a university to attend is a huge challenge, and a stressful process. Even though I don’t have to worry about getting into a University for another four more years, I stress of the thought every day. Will I have a high enough GPA? What about my SAT scores? Do my parents even have money saved away for me and tuition? What do I want to do with my life? Thoughts like these run through my mind and stress me out all the time it seems, but I’m learning how to

Fifteen years ago Merced and Redding were in a battle for the next University of California. Even though Merced was located close to several other University of California campuses, the school was built in Merced. The residents of the northstate are now patiently waiting for their chance at a new university.

persistence, love for one's work and is just plain funny! The story starts out with Clifford Stoll being "recycled" to a computer analyst/webmaster. Cliff, as he is affectionately called, is a long-haired ex-hippie that works at Lawrence Berkeley Lab. He originally was an astronomer, but since his grant wore out, he became a mainframe master. He was glad that instead of throwing him out into the unemployment office, the Lab recycled their people and downstairs he went, to the computer lab

UC Merced (UCM) was opened by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and was established as the 10th UC school. UC Merced was mainly accessible to those that lived in the San Joaquin Valley and the people in Fresno. The school is also very alike to its other establishments such as UCLA and UCI because of the school colors and how they have open enrollment. The location for the campus was chosen in 1995 in Merced County which was where the school received its name and the campus was also adjacent to Lake

believed that “management is a skill one can learn, rather than a talent received at birth” (Evans & Ward, 2007).

The Black community’s ears are attuned to the sounds of the salon—the drone of clippers, scissors snick-snipping locks of hair, gossiping voices muffled by the hum of a hooded dryer. But Chicagoans might hear something new as they sit in the salon chair: medical advice.
