Had a wonderful visit this week to @ucmerced. The campus is on the cutting edge of higher ed. Students and faculty are leading the way to create a more accessible, relevant, and rigorous learning experience. We have a lot to learn from them. I'll be sharing more about my visit on my Substack, The Gold and the Blue, Volume 22, soon.
