When this year began, our society was still reeling from the first year of COVID-19. We were still working from home and students were still figuring out how to learn in online environments, and it was easy to slip into a mode of pining for whatever we had one considered "normal."

Merced College is open and ready to serve the community, with some classes and operations returning to campus for the Summer 2021 term that began today (June 21). Most classes and many support services remain online, but more and more are being offered in person, and employees are beginning to return to campus.

Students coming to Merced College in the fall, when in-person courses are expected to resume, will find a slew of new resources and campus upgrades made possible by more than $12 million in COVID-19 relief funds as well as general funds allocated by the Merced Community College District Board of Trustees.
