Equity & Inclusion

Dear Colleagues,

Please join us in celebrating Silvia Marquez who was appointed to the role of Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Implementation Manager on June 1, 2021.

Dear Campus Members

We would like to acknowledge that this communication of support should have been issued much sooner; for our delay, we apologize to the impacted Afghan community. Our thoughts are with our Afghan community members, their families, friends, and colleagues near and far. There are an estimated 60,000 Afghans in the Bay Area, some of whom have been here for decades and others recently arrived, who contribute significantly to the innovation, economy, and culture that make this region great. 

Each year, we celebrate National Latinx Heritage Month from September 15th through October 15th. The past twelve months have been especially challenging for many Latinx communities, but there have also been wonderful achievements and moments of joy.

Dear campus colleagues,

We are writing to let you know of organizational changes that we are initiating in our divisions to better serve our students and the campus as a whole, to meet our ambitious goals around diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and justice, and to better align program missions with priorities within our divisions.

Dear Campus Community,

The beginning of a new academic year is always an exciting time, and this one is particularly special for me. Like our new first-year and transfer students, sophomores, and those who transferred to UC Berkeley last year, I too, am new to the campus. My tenure as the vice chancellor for equity & inclusion started just three weeks ago.
