Though it saddens me to have to leave The Prodigy, it makes me happy to be able to send it off as a bigger and stronger service for UC Merced. We have a great website, stocked newsroom, board meetings, writer meetings, photography staff, social events, banquets, and more release dates for our issues to be published. But even with all those accomplishments I can’t help but reminisce about the times when all we had was each other. 

The fourteenth annual Relay for Life took place on the Merced College campus on Saturday, April 28, and lasted until the following Sunday. The event “helps communities across the globe celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.”
