The way the Merced community annually honors veterans, both the fallen and the living, is somber and moving while being bold and awash in color at the same time.

On the Fourth of July in 1980, in the middle of a presidential campaign and beneath the cloud of the Iran hostage crisis, politics were put to the side—mostly—on a historic day in Merced.

In his distinguished 14-year tenure as president of Merced College, Ben Duran led the construction of many of the college’s current buildings, creating much-needed space during a time of significant growth in student interest and enrollment.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month and recognize the countless contributions of women in our society, it’s also a moment for Merced College to express our profound pride in the women leaders who contribute immensely to achieving our mission.
