How long have you been at Berkeley? 

By Beatrice Shelton, Strategic Communications

UC Berkeley has been designated as an Age-Friendly University (AFU) by the Age-Friendly University Global Network, an international consortium of higher education institutions committed to creating inclusive, age-responsive environments for learning, research, and community engagement across the lifespan.

UC Berkeley has been officially designated as a Black-Serving Institution (BSI) as part of a new California state initiative recognizing colleges and universities that demonstrate a strong, sustained commitment to supporting Black and African American students.

How long have you been at Berkeley? 

I have been at Berkeley for almost six years. 

After thirteen years of dedicated service to the UC Berkeley community, the Restorative Justice Center (RJC) will be changing at the end of the 2025 calendar year. Established in 2012 through a seed grant from the Division of Equity and Inclusion, RJC has provided a vital space for dialogue, accountability, and community-based responses to harm on campus.

Assistant Director, Asian Pacific American Student Development (APASD)

How long have you been at Berkeley? 

I’ve worked at Berkeley in two separate terms, but both at APASD! I started in 2017 as a 900-hour contracted program specialist and then served as the interim APASD Assistant Director for a few months in 2018. I returned to APASD in 2020 after being hired for the permanent position.
