Self-Service Massage Chairs
Come in, sit back, and RELAX! All week there will be self-service massage chairs located in SE2 102 for staff to come and enjoy. You can reserve a spot here, but they will fill up fast! Schedule now to book your on-campus R&R.
Recipe Sharing "Box"
Take a moment to Lei Back and Recharge by exploring and sharing your favorite recipes with the campus community! This year, instead of a live workshop, we’re creating a collaborative recipe collection where staff can contribute dishes they love and discover new ones to try at home. From quick weeknight meals to family favorites and sweet treats, this is your chance to share a little piece of your kitchen and gather inspiration from others across campus.
Self-Guided UC Merced Hidden Treasures Tour
Have some free time during the day? Follow the UC Merced Hidden Treasures Tour to find
all the hidden gems on our campus. Do it all at once, or visit a new treasure each day!
