2015 UC Merced At A Glance

bobby nakamoto Hometown: Fieldbrook, Calif.

Year: Senior

Major: Ecology and evolutionary biology

Activities/INTERESTS: I like to ride my bike into the Sierra foothills east of Merced. There is a bike club in Mer- ced that makes weekly trips that are nice to tag along with. Plans for after graduation: Go to graduate school pursuing a Ph.D. in freshwater ecology and hopefully end up teaching at a research university sometime in the future.

“UC Merced is a tight-knit academic community where I have been afforded priceless opportunities to interact closely with faculty, developing relationships which led to a job doing research that I love.”
