Nothing better represents the promise of the future than the inherent optimism of graduation season. Here at Berkeley, we just welcomed more than 10,200 new Cal graduates. These bright young people come from all over California, the nation, and the world. These Golden Bears enter a new chapter in life with a profound commitment to community service, environmental awareness, social entrepreneurship, educational equity, and a passion for innovation. Today’s Berkeley graduates represent the best aspects of a 21st century multicultural society.

On March 8, CAA and a delegation of alumni will join the campus government relations team to meet with lawmakers in Sacramento to talk about the transformative power of a college education and how UC benefits the state. The CAA delegation will join groups from the other nine UC campuses, and UC President Janet Napolitano, to advocate for public higher education funding. The team will meet one-on-one with nine legislators to remind them about the importance of supporting UC, especially during the current period of enrollment growth.
