A great university deserves a great magazine, and the University of California, Berkeley, as the nation’s premier public research institution, has one: the award-winning California magazine.

Berkeley and California have a relationship that goes back more than a century. From the beginning, the magazine has connected alumni with their alma mater in a unique way. Through topical stories and inspiring profiles, the magazine keeps alumni informed about events and trends, and it highlights the University’s role in tackling a variety of difficult social and political issues confronting the region, state, and nation. With each quarterly issue, California reminds readers of UC Berkeley’s academic tradition of excellence and its contributions to science, public and social policy, art, and culture.

Last year, CAA introduced a companion program to the magazine, California Live! This lecture series furthers the ideas explored in the magazine and provides a venue for experts and audience members to continue the discussion. California Live! promotes lifelong learning and provides alumni the opportunity to extend their relationship with Cal’s academic excellence beyond graduation.

California aspires to be a magazine that alumni are proud of. With features that keep readers up-to-date on the accomplishments of Berkeley’s faculty, alumni, and athletes, California strives to reinforce a lasting connection to Cal. This fall, Class Notes returns to the magazine to connect friends and classmates.

CAA relies on donor support to cover costs associated with publishing a magazine of this caliber. Please consider a gift today, and help maintain this award-winning magazine and bring each issue to more than 95,000 mailboxes around the world.
