It is clear that the alumni of the UC Berkeley program are our most cherished resource. Alumni are both our stellar products and our most effective advocates.  Who best to tell our story within and outside of the University but those who have experienced it.

A high priority therefore is to link and engage our five hundred or so alumni. We need their help in many ways

First, those in the Berkeley area can help in our recruitment activities for subsequent semesters.  We currently solicit alumni to help us interview applicants to the program and participate in our information sessions for prospective applicants.  We have found this kind of alumni support to be extremely helpful.

Second, those in Washington, DC have also helped in a variety of ways.  The have opened doors for internships.  They have told their stories and shared their Washington expertise with current Berkeley students in Washington.

Third, we need the financial support of our alumni no matter where they are.  While we do realize that most of our alumni are just beginning careers and cannot make major gifts, every dollar counts.  Currently, our biggest challenge is to make sure that sufficient financial aid is available to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent some students from coming to Washington.

We recently established our own giving account so if you click the box below or on the front page of this website, you can now make a secure online contribution to “Washington Program, UC Berkeley.”

To achieve all these goals, we need to hear from our alumni.  So click here and tell us where you are, volunteer to help in Berkeley or Washington and send us news we can ultimately convey to those who have shared your Washington Experience.  You can also send us a photo which we will include in our scrapbook below.  We proudly display below our first submitted photo.
