Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, & Justice
February is Black History Month. It’s a time for us to call attention to and pay tribute to the far-reaching sacrifices and triumphs of Black people and communities. It is also an invitation to think about how we uplift the culture, creativity, and leadership of Black life today while holding space for Black dreams and futures. Nationally, the 2023 theme for the month is “Black Resistance,” inviting us to reflect on the roles, responsibilities, and opportunities we all have as individuals to advance racial and social justice across campus.

Internships come in many flavors—and we like to share as many student stories as we can to help you aspire higher when you begin to look for an internship.
Many internships, like these, take place during the summer months when you have some extra time between sun and fun. While some students traveled abroad or participated in UC Berkeley prep programs, many pursued unique internships across the country. Here are some of their experiences to give you inspiration.

A new UC Berkeley center will convene top scholars and students across a range of disciplines to conduct high-level research on critical social challenges at the intersection of politics and economics.

One of my hopes coming out of the pandemic was that we would become more aware of how interdependent we are as a community and perhaps do more to ensure that everyone has the support they need. The 2022 UAW contract negotiations and strike underscored that interdependence, making clear how essential postdoctoral scholars, academic researchers and graduate students are to our campus ecosystem; our teaching and research missions depend on them. Having them withdraw their labor created significant challenges and stress for our undergraduates, faculty and staff.

For UC Berkeley, 2022 was a year of speaking out — against injustice, against violence, against the patriarchy — and committing to a better future, together.
When Russia waged war on Ukraine in February, the campus community joined in solidarity and voiced its outrage and defiance. When Iranians rose up in protest against their repressive government and called for freedom, Berkeley students, staff and faculty spoke out in support of the protesters and what they stood for. And students on campus screamed together for the art project OUTCRY.
Computing, Data Science, and Society
Academia has a diversity problem, especially in STEM. There is a dearth of scientists who identify as Black, Hispanic or who are members of marginalized communities in STEM-related faculty roles at colleges and universities, studies show. These inequities can hurt students and result in harmful biases in tools and teachings of fields that affect the public.

Like most students, Melissa Mora-Gonzalez lived in a residence hall during her first year. But after choosing to pursue off-campus housing, she has some tips and tricks for other UC Berkeley students in their housing search.
Responding quickly and creatively to needs and opportunities that arise on campus is vital to UC Berkeley’s ongoing excellence — and to do that, the university relies in large part on unrestricted flexible-use funds. One source of that flexible funding is fueled by the generosity of Berkeley parents and families, a giving opportunity that’s also tailor-made for them and their students: the Cal Parents Fund.
