On May 13, 2006 the MSSM Friendship Scholarship Foundation, celebrated with friends, family, and the University of California, Merced in the dedication of the McFadden-Willis Reading Room.
This room is a contemplative reading room one story higher than the rest of the library, with windows that spill light out over the campus and valley at night. It bears a portrait of the four children whose lives inspired the Friendship Scholarships, and a gorgeous carved crystal plaque honoring all donors to the Foundation. Dedicated in memory of Melanie, Stanley, Stuart, and Michelle, this room will help our community remember the gifts that these children were to those around them.
The McFadden-Willis Reading Room would not have been possible without the generous support of our donors. Our sincere appreciation goes out to:
I am the dust in the sunlight, I am the ball of the sun,
To the dust I say: Remain. And to the sun: Roll on.
I am the mist of morning, I am the breath of evening.
I am the rustling of the grove, the surging wave of the sea.
I am the mast, the rudder, the steersman and the ship.
I am the coral reef on which it founders.
I am the tree of life and the parrot in its branches,
Silence, thought, tongue and voice.
I am the breath of the flute, the spirit of man,
I am the spark in the stone, the gleam of gold in the metal,
The candle and the moth fluttering round it,
The rose and the nightingale drunk with its fragrance.
I am the chain of being, the circle of the spheres,
The scale of creation, the rise and the fall.
I am what is and is not. I am - O Thou who knowest,
Jelaleddin, oh, say it - I am the soul in all.
My sincere and heart-felt appreciation to all,
Christine B. McFadden, DVM

Friendship Day
Friendship Day is hosted by the Student Alumni Association in honor of the McFadden family to spread awareness about the MSSM Scholarship Foundation. The Student Alumni Association is highlighting the importance of friendship because SAA recognizes the friendships fostered at
UC Merced will help carry forward in one’s life and career. Since students are away from their families, they depend on their friends through their college journey. As a result of this day, we hope to bring a better understanding to students about the history behind the MSSM Friendship Scholarship, Friendship Day, and the Friendship Cookie that unites all Bobcats.
