On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, three of our esteemed Library colleagues were recognized at the "Celebrating Service and Staff Excellence Awards" presented by Staff Assembly in partnership with the Office of the Chancellor and EJIE. Join us in congratulating Alisak Sanavongsay, Sarah Sheets, and Ross Anastos for their invaluable contributions to the UC Merced Library! 

Congratulations to Kyahra for her winning submission! Our new Library stickers will be sent to be printed during the summer in time to be distributed at Library events during the Fall 2025 semester. 

Sang Park was one of the founding staff members of UC Merced and re-joined library as the Technical Services Coordinator in April. He spent the last 18 years heading up a research library for the Navy. Prior to joining UC Merced the first time, he worked in the library at NASA Ames Research Center, UCSF, San Francisco City College, and San Diego State University.  Help us give Sang a warm welcome back to UC Merced!
