Diversity Outreach: A Berkeley Commitment
Berkeley actively seeks to enhance graduate student diversity to the benefit of the UC Berkeley campus community.
Underrepresented students will find academic and social support in the numerous student organizations on campus, including Graduate Students of African Descent, Graduate Students de la Raza, and the American Indian Graduate Student Association.
