Former Faculty Member to Read from New Book at UC Merced Author Series

UC Merced is a research institution and while groundbreaking work is done in its labs, that doesn’t mean the arts aren’t thriving, too.

For the past 10 years, the Write! Look! Listen! Series has been a vehicle for the university’s creative writing committee to encourage dialogue among creatives in the community. The series, sponsored by UC Merced’s Karen Merritt Writing Program, features local authors and provides them a place to read excerpts from their latest works to students and community members.
