Yasmin Teran-Salazar
3rd year Political Science major from Ontario, CA
Hi! I am Yasmin Teran-Salazar, I grew up all over the IE, but I call Ontario home. I am currently a 3rd year Political Science major with hopes of working in legislative affairs and eventually go to law school to pursue a JD! One of my biggest dreams is to open a firm that offers legal aid to underrepresented communities in the Central Valley and the IE. From the friendships to opportunities, I couldn't have picked a better place to be. My favorite part of my role as a social media content creator is being able to showcase the endless possibilities at UC Merced to prospective students in a unique and innovative way!

Raghav Sinha
3rd Year Computer Science and Engineering major from San Jose, CA
Hi! I'm Raghav Sinha. I'm a 3rd year CSE major from San Jose, CA. Bay Area! I chose UC Merced for its potential - as a UC and a public school, UC Merced gets a lot of funding and the most attention of any of the UCs in terms of growth, and, so far, we've delivered. I know that in a short time, UCM will become one of the best schools in the country. For the Media Cats, I handle all web work including updating our admissions/admitted websites and this website. I also dabble in media work, taking photos and videos from time to time. When I'm not working or studying, I spend my time playing video games, messing around with my camera, cooking/baking, and playing music! If you see me on campus, feel free to say hi!
