Cal alumni from "The War Classes" to the 1990s to gather at UC Berkeley for homecoming and parents weekend 24 September 2001 By José RodríguezChancellor Robert M. Berdahl will moderate a panel discussion on "Multiculturalism at Cal" on Saturday, from 12:30-1:30 p.m., in Wheeler Auditorium. Panelists will address the campus's efforts to ensure diversity; campus life today for students and faculty of color; and what alumni, parents and students can do to make a difference.
In addressing the campus at last week's memorial service, Berdahl reflected on the role of the university in troubled times and the need for UC Berkeley's extended community to stay in touch. "Let those of us who hold the candle of learning in our hands, hold firm in the vigil for freedom and reasoned discourse," he said.
Cal Homecoming & Parents Weekend is an annual Cal family celebration for alumni, parents, students and friends. Registration is still open. For complete details, visit the Homecoming Web site at homecoming.berkeley.edu or call 888/UNIV-CAL.
