UC Berkeley expresses support for the students, staff, and faculty who have been affected by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. We are listening with care as you call on us to amplify ways the campus can support humanitarian efforts on the ground. We hear you looking for ways to connect with and care for each other.

In partnership and coordination with teams across campus, the Division of Equity & Inclusion has created this online resource to share messages, supports, and opportunities to get involved with the humanitarian response effort.
