Dear campus community,
This October, we celebrate National Transfer Student Week 2024, a time to honor the unique experiences, achievements, and challenges of transfer students. At Berkeley, transfer students represent approximately 21% of our undergraduate population. This year’s national theme, "Unlocking Potential: Keys to the Transfer Journey," highlights the importance of empowering transfer students on their academic paths. A few highlights for next week are below:
I have been at Berkeley since 2012. I began my time as an undergraduate student. Since then, I’ve held professional roles on campus with various units. Some spaces I have been part of include Parking & Transportation, the Center for Educational Partnerships, and now the Centers for Educational Equity and Excellence!
Today, the University of California, Berkeley, proudly received the 2024 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from Insight Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education. This prestigious award recognizes UC Berkeley for its outstanding commitment to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice across campus.
