Please join us to celebrate and commemorate our URM graduate students who will be graduating from UC Berkeley this year, as well as those who graduated last year. They have supported and mentored us throughout our collective academic journeys and now we want to hold a send-off event in their honor (as well as say good riddance to 2020!)
From those getting their professional master’s degrees to those donning their doctoral robes, celebrating this grand achievement, especially for our graduating class of minoritized students and people of color, has been much more difficult due to the pandemic. Although we cannot meet in-person (this year) to celebrate our graduating peers, we very much want to honor these brave and brilliant future leaders in the most impactful way possible.
