Among Quotes
UC Merced is the University of California's newest campus and lies among farm fields in the San Joaquin Valley, 2 1/2 hours east of San Francisco and not far from where I spent most of my childhood. It's a part of California that has suffered deeply from the recession with high unemployment and a skyrocketing home foreclosure rate.

Closeness Quotes
We have found that there is no one style of residence hall that is perfect for every student. That's why having the variety of styles that we have on this campus is such a good thing. We know that some students value location and closeness to dining facilities while others consider privacy more important.
-
Begin Quotes
This year we're going to begin a shuttle system that will run all over campus for our students. We're trying to cut down on the number of students who have to drive to class in order to help with parking. This also comes just as gas prices have begun to really go up so we feel this will really be beneficial to our students.

Artist Quotes
The radio station was our frat house. We made a lot of noise; it was the ultimate farm team approach. My favorite part was watching the music go from an unknown entity to a popular item people wanted to buy on Marshall Street. An artist that no one knew previously would then come to campus and sell out a show.

Behind Quotes
We all know that tuition is an issue; we all know that fees on campus are an issue. But if this is something that we can fix, and it is just a matter of rallying our professors behind it, then it is something that we talked about, ... We need to find a way to tackle this issue in a proactive, non-abrasive manner because we don't want to upset the faculty; we want to encourage them to make this a priority.

Achieved Quotes
We are appreciative of our partners in the university community and all they have done in recent years to tackle the problem of digital piracy at campuses across the country. Despite the progress achieved by our collaborative efforts, this remains an ever-evolving problem. We cannot ignore the growing misuse of campus local area network systems or the toll this means of theft is taking on our industry.

Building Quotes
We wanted a place that was on campus, even though this is a community church, we wanted to be right in the heart of campus because it's easy for the college (students) to get here, ... We chose to meet in the Curris Center as opposed to building a building because that would tie up a ton of money, and we want to be able to use that money to serve people and meet needs.

Children Quotes
At 16, when I was at Henry M. Gunn High School, I had a crush on the English teacher, and my grades improved dramatically. This great school had only 400 students, mostly children of Stanford professors, and it was more usual to have classes under one of the oak trees dotted around the campus than in the classroom.
-
Almost Quotes
At the time, it was deemed probably the worst crisis to hit a college campus in modern times. There had been murders and shootings on campuses before, but in most of those cases the perpetrators were immediately known. This was a situation where five bodies were found over a three-day period . . . and Danny Rolling was not charged for almost a year.
-
Chancellor Quotes
Do we need to look at that? I think that we do. We have the new vice chancellor of administrative services ... and he does have a facilities background. One of his charges will be to look at the grounds and see what all is needed. You want the campus to look nice, but you also want low maintenance.

Affects Quotes
Energy costs have increased all over campus since Hurricane Katrina. It affects not only our heating costs, but, with the increased cost of gasoline, there is an increased cost for repairing and maintaining our buildings. This is an issue that all universities are struggling with this winter.
-
Arena Quotes
Dr. Lott managed significant reductions in state funding over the first four years of his administration without cutting funds to the arts. He secured funding for the construction of the Jefferson Davis Campus (JD) Arena Theatre in Gulfport and the renovation of the college's existing arts facilities. Finally, he implemented a leadership-development program with a strong connection to the arts. All this made him an obvious choice for this award.

Academic Quotes
There's no question that playing so close to Athens and the campus has its advantages for us. Travel is very time consuming and taxing physically, especially when you're juggling academic and athletic schedules, so we'll be able to avoid some of that and hopefully be fresher for the NCAA Regional and the NCAA Championships. We also hope these tournaments will give our supporters a chance to come out and watch us play. It means so much to the guys to look into the gallery and see someone wearing a Georgia cap or shirt.
-
College Quotes
The resolution is going through Campus Safety and to the administration that it affects. We're hoping to reach a compromise with administration that as long as there isn't suspicion of a College violation that the College will provide two forms of communication prior to coming to student's rooms.
-
Assaulted Quotes
The whole thing is so predictable. This is a form of sexism that is so mainstream that people don't even blink their eyes when they learn the Duke lacrosse team hired a stripper. In a perfect world, that would not be sexist. But this is a world where one in four college women are sexually assaulted and women can't walk on campus at night because of the threat of violence from men.
-
Among Quotes
The Rube Goldberg demonstrations are always well-attended on campus because it's fun to see how complicated our engineering students can make even the most trivial of actions. Sometimes their inventions work great. It is a fun exercise in semi-futility that produces a lot of camaraderie among the students who build these machines.

Across Quotes
People think I'm trying to be funny, but right now as I walk across campus I'm going to search out tall guys. We picked up a couple of football players yesterday, an offensive guy and a defensive guy, so we have our bases covered. I'm hoping we can get enough bodies to get through practice.
