Fresno Center

Paving the Way for UC Merced

UC Merced established the Fresno Center in 1997 as one of the first initiatives during planning stages for the UC Merced campus. The center helped the San Joaquin Valley prepare for the opening of UC Merced and continues to serve the educational needs of Fresno area residents.
