Incoming first-year student Hayden Elliott will hit the UC Merced campus this fall with quite a bit of college already under his belt.
A 2023 graduate of Turlock High School, Elliott has earned associate's degrees from attending both Modesto Junior College and Merced College in their dual enrollment programs.
A day before the midterm election, Gov. Gavin Newsom made a surprise visit
to a political science class at UC Merced.
Newsom was invited by Assemblymember Adam Gray, who co-teaches the class
and provides insight about how government, specifically the California
State Legislature, operates. As part of the course, students take on
various roles, including state senators, lobbyists and the media, as well
as a candidate running for governor.
