What happens here isn't magic.
It just feels that way,
because there is no telling what will occur when people, unsatisfied with the way things are, have the courage to imagine a better way and the freedom to turn what could be into what will.
That takes a bold thinking, disruptive ideas, and an amazing array of perspectives, people, and intellectual pursuits.
But it's hard to capture something that won't stand still.
That's Berkeley.
Built by the people, for the people.
Founded and forever inspired by those who had an unstoppable drive to build a new state on the western edge.
We embraced the radical idea of a public university and never looked back.
Hundreds of thousands of lives changed for people who then go out and change the lives of millions more, in our state, our nation, and the world.
That's Berkeley.
Taking on today's biggest challenges:
A revolutionary treatment for malaria? Check.
Unlocking the secrets of the universe? Been there.
Preserving Mark Twain for prosperity? Done that.
We are always one step ahead.
And sometimes, that step is too big for words alone to describe.
We express.
We interpret.
We reach further.
We celebrate.
And we are celebrated for our long tradition of untraditional excellence.
Driven by a deep desire to do better, to do good.
That's Berkeley.
Life shaping, world changing, future building.
