<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Founded only recently in 2005, the University of California, Merced is the United States’ first research university built in the twenty-first century and is located in the heart of California's Central Valley. UC Merced is unique among the University of California campuses as half of its student body are first generation college students, many of whom are local to the under-served Central Valley. Due to its constant growth, the university has the innovative outlook necessary to put into practice ambitious, forward-thinking ideas, whether they be encouraged by the administration or driven by students. Student entrepreneurship is a central focus on UC Merced's campus, and its faculty are constantly looking for new opportunities to encourage entrepreneurial spirit. Innovation stems from our research labs, student run projects and registered club organizations.</span>
