Dear Cal alums, parents, and friends,
In the blink of an eye, the school year has begun. For me, this is a special time of reunion and renewal, animated by the potential of our students and the readiness of our community to take on the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Dear Cal alums, parents, and friends,
Nseke Ngilbus faced several complex challenges when he started at Cal. He was an older student, a transfer student, and interested in product design — a field he knew little about. “For me, the academics were not the most difficult part,” he wrote in a blog. “Instead, it was understanding the things that are outside of academics … the hidden curriculum.”

Dear Cal alums, parents, and friends,
I have exciting news to share. Longtime UC Berkeley benefactors Ned and Carol Spieker have made a transformational gift of $26 million to endow the men’s aquatic programs. The largest gift in Cal Athletics history, it will provide dedicated support for years to come.

Dear Cal alums, parents, and friends,
When KJ Muldoon was just one week old, his doctors at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia diagnosed him with a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder that prevented him from breaking down the proteins in his food. If he survived, he would have severe mental and developmental delays and require a liver transplant.

Siblings Ryan and Melissa Mattson spent their 20s and 30s raising children, tending to an ill father, and working to make ends meet. They were convinced that higher education wasn’t for them. Especially not at UC Berkeley.

Dear Cal alums, parents, and friends,
Just as 2025 — and a new semester — were beginning to come into focus, unprecedented fires broke out in Southern California that have profoundly affected members of the UC Berkeley family. While the fires are now mostly contained, the destruction defies description, and the heartbreak demands our compassion.

Dear Cal alums, parents, and friends,
Waking up in a trembling bed and realizing that it’s an earthquake — not your dog pouncing on board to cuddle — is unsettling. In 2019, California Gov. Gavin Newsom launched the nation’s first statewide early warning system that uses an app to send alerts to people’s cellphones. It was put to the test last summer when a 5.2-magnitude quake rattled Central and Southern California. Over 517,000 alerts went out, reminding people to drop, cover, and hold on.
