The Vision

For more than 150 years, UC Berkeley has pursued a public mission to be a place where all people — regardless of race, gender, status, or religion — can pursue excellence in scholarship, leadership, and innovation. Anchored in the campus strategic plan, the Student Experience and Diversity (SED) philanthropy program is focused on Berkeley’s role as an engine of social mobility, recognizing that supporting the quality and diversity of the student experience is crucial to the university’s unique brilliance. With philanthropic support, the program advances our commitment to diversity while providing students with cocurricular learning opportunities and resources with measurable impact. These efforts will enable all of our students to contribute to the dynamic vitality of Berkeley and transform the world.
