As we enter Filipino American History Month (FAHM), we celebrate and recognize the vibrant and diverse Filipinx* community at UC Berkeley. Our campus is home to 3.4% of undergraduate and 1.5% of graduate students who proudly identify as Filipinx, along with 3.9% of our dedicated staff members and 0.4% of our ladder faculty and Lecturers with Security of Employment (LSOE).

During October, we are honoring Disability Awareness Month, which has a deep-rooted connection to UC Berkeley as a birthplace of the disability rights movement.
