Berkeley Changemaker

BERKELEY CHANGEMAKER(R) is a way to codify an essential part of what UC Berkeley has always stood for, and judging from early feedback, provides a future-oriented narrative that our whole campus can rally behind, humanists and scientists alike. Its curriculum activates undergraduates’ passions and helps them develop a sharper sense of who they want to be and how to make that happen. Berkeley Changemaker is a people-vision. This is its most compelling why. What separates a changemaker from UC Berkeley is that they draw from, and build on, elements that make this university itself unique, including a singular history for leading inclusively and an agency for making society better. Berkeley Changemaker can be an inspiring unifier. Berkeley’s uniqueness in its breadth-plus-depth of intellectual creativity provides an opportunity to integrate disciplines as no other university can - and departments all across campus are seeing themselves in the narrative. Berkeley Changemaker can be identity-making. Changemaking is at the heart of the Berkeley identity. It's time to double down.
