Alumni Trident Project
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back this year, consider supporting the Alumni Trident Project at Merced College. This project will bring a bold new campus landmark to life: a 7-foot-tall metal trident sculpture that represents Blue Devil pride, strength, and unity. Designed to stand outdoors for decades, the trident will be built to withstand sun, wind, and rain—serving as a lasting symbol of school spirit and connection for students, alumni, and the entire community. More than just a sculpture, this monument will become a gathering point, a photo backdrop, and a visible reminder of the support and generosity that help our college thrive. Your year-end gift helps create something permanent and powerful—an enduring symbol of pride that future generations of Blue Devils will recognize and celebrate.
