Equity & Inclusion

Formerly incarcerated undergrads started a group on campus to offer mentoring, support, and advocacy to other former inmates.

Dear Campus Community,

It is with profound concern and regret that I write to inform you that members of the Berkeley campus community are among those who remain missing in the wake of the devastating fire that consumed an event space in Oakland late Friday night. The most recent reports indicate that at least 30 lives were lost, with more hospitalized or still missing.

In the past few weeks, Xavier Maciel, a first-year transfer student at Pomona College, has on more than one occasion woken up to over a dozen emails from college professors across the country.

The "invisible labor" done by professors of color is not usually rewarded with tenure and promotion. But it is more important now than ever.
