Cal does it again!!

#1 University of California – Berkeley

Located in the Bay Area, the University of California, Berkeley is the best U.S. public college, according to Forbes’ 2023 analysis.The public research university offers more than 300 degree programs, including sustainable environmental design, aerospace engineering and Chicanx Latinx Studies.

Founded in 1868, the university’s establishment stems from a vision in the state’s constitution to “contribute even more than California’s gold to the glory and happiness of advancing generations.”

Oppenheimer

Looking forward to the movie, some scenes were shot on the Berkeley campus and there were some old time cars driving in front of the library followed by a camera van.

Apparently they hid all the garbage cans with fake trees.

Berkeley News

UC Berkeley Chancellor Christ retires next year. Can't help but remember that had handed me my University Medal finalist award on stage at convocation along with a lovely message. I think she became chancellor around the time I joined Cal.

Calvin Cycle

continue to be in awe of my alma mater. Go Bears.

Slow Burn

Usually you get to see the Cal-Stanford rivalry during the Big Game every year!

Stanford-Burn in the Night Agent series... Too funny,

Larkin: "I thought I could read my way to Stanford."

Sutherland: "...you went to Stanford?"

Larkin: "No. Those bastards rejected me. I went to a community college then transferred to Berkeley. When I started my company I hired a bunch of Stanford grads to grab me coffee."

An explanation of the crazy weather pattern this winter in California

16 of 118

16 of the 118 elements. Go Bears!! I have the Berkelium t-shirt.

I laughed when i saw the last hashtag. Cal and Stanford have this friendly rivalry going on which is most evident at Big Game (annual football game). Like a former therapist (had been a student at Stanford when working with me), was overjoyed that I got into Cal, with the caveat of "except during Big Game."

Big Game 125

CAL WON!!

A traditional rivalry game between the two schools.

I especially would enjoy the week's build up to the event such as Bonfire night etc the Tree Chopping Rally.

At least got to see 2 wins during my time at Cal.

South Hall

I heard it was like the only campus building (or one of the few buildings) to survive the 1906 SF quake.

I'm passed this building countless times and even gone inside, but never had a class inside.

Cal 1973

What a contrast to the developed and bustling Cal campus of today.

The Big Game

Kinda thrilled to see 2 Big Game wins (Stanford/Cal friendly rivalry) during my time here at Cal.

And it was a resounding win too with 2 records.

Forbes #1 College

"It isn’t enough to ask which schools give the best return on investment. It’s also important to evaluate what kind of students they educate and whether they make themselves accessible to those who can’t afford high sticker prices."

Barker Hall

Got a class in Barker Hall this semester.

https://bds.berkeley.edu/barker: "Barker Hall is located on the Northwest corner of campus (map) and houses labs from the Department of Molecular & Cell Biology and from the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute (HWNI). It was named after UC Berkeley Biochemist Horace Barker." famous for discovering an active form of Vitamin B12.
