Last November, I hosted a Cal Discoveries Travel group to South Africa. I stood with other Cal alumni and friends before Nelson Mandela’s prison cell on Robben Island, where together we learned about the struggles, pain, and—yes—reconciliation of apartheid.

As 2016 draws to a close, I am inspired to reflect on the past 12 months, and even further back to the very beginning of our alumni association and the birth of this great university. The alumni association was established in 1872, one year before a group of young men known as “The Twelve Apostles” would become UC Berkeley’s very first graduating class.

At Cal we are no strangers to being catalysts for change. I have learned that Cal is where the heart is. During my first seven months at the Cal Alumni Association (CAA), I’ve traveled to meet many of our alumni communities and witness the ways in which they are embodying Cal spirit across the nation. My firsthand experiences with our alumni base inform our efforts as we move forward at CAA.

Dear Fellow Cal Alumni and Friends,
It has been an honor and a joy to serve at the helm of our Cal Alumni Association (CAA) these past four years, so it is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from CAA this fall. I have decided to return to the private sector to pursue an exciting leadership opportunity in the marketing industry.

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.

Today’s Berkeley graduates represent the best aspects of a 21st century multicultural society.
