A group of UC Merced staff members recently demonstrated that innovative ideas can come from all corners of the university.
Staff members answered a call for proposals for the campus’s first Chancellor’s Innovation Awards, a program created to encourage and recognize innovative ideas that benefit the campus. Forty-three proposals from individuals and groups were received, and the pool was narrowed to 10 finalists. The final proposals were voted on by faculty and staff members, students, and a panel appointed by the chancellor.
