Tell others about it!
Berkeley is pleased to announce that students can update their CalCentral account to provide the following:
- A lived name (which is a self-chosen personal and/or preferred professional first, middle, and last name used instead of a legal name);
- Select which name (lived or legal) they want each of their delegates to see; and
- Indicate their gender identity, sexual orientation, and pronouns.
It is important to note that unless there is an identified lived name, the name field will default to the legal name.Once you make these updates in CalCentral, this information will be synced across multiple University systems and you will see this reflected in your directory listing, bCourses, Google Workspace (bConnected, bCal, bMail, bDrive), Kaltura, and more.
How do I update my CalCentral settings?
To make updates to these new fields in CalCentral, please follow these steps:
- Use your CalNet ID to log into CalCentral
- Click your Avatar (in the top right corner).
- From the dropdown menu, select Personal Profile.
- Select the Personal tab to review/update names; choose the Biographic tab to update gender identity, sexual orientation, and pronouns; review delegate name option
Why are these new fields available in CalCentral?
These new enhancements to CalCentral are part of a larger suite of projects currently in progress for the UC Gender Recognition & Lived Name (GRLN) policy and implementation across campus. The GRLN policy ensures that all students, employees, alumni, and affiliates are identified by their accurate gender identity and lived name on university-issued identification documents and in UC’s information systems by providing guidance on the collection and reporting of gender identity, lived name and sexual orientation.
What is the difference between lived and legal name?
A student’s lived name will become the primary name available in campus systems so the campus community will know the correct name to use when communicating with them. Students can provide their lived name when seeking services from the University. Legal name access will be limited to only authorized staff with a legitimate business need.
Who can I contact for assistance or to learn more?
Students needing technical assistance can contact the Student Tech helpdesk for assistance. You can read more about GRLN in this campus-wide message shared earlier this year or visit the FAQs page to find answers to frequently asked questions.
These updates are just the first of many changes we have underway. Students will soon have the option of using their lived name or their legal name on their official transcript. Please expect more information to come as progress on this project continues.

POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Berkeley Law School is searching for researchers to work with faculty doing empirical legal research. Researchers will work for 1-2 years with 2-3 faculty members to create and clean datasets. They will create tables and figures to do both descriptive analysis and to study the effects of law and policy. Finally, they will assist professors in writing and presenting research papers to both academic and policy audiences.
Applicants will receive mentoring from faculty within a tight-knit research community at Berkeley Law, and have access to a broad range of activities at UC Berkeley. This is a good opportunity for candidates interested in spending 1-2 years developing research skills in anticipation of attending law school and/or PhD programs in the social sciences. As such, in addition to providing research mentorship, faculty will help researchers to engage in additional education and training, such as auditing courses, participating in research seminars, etc.
A research program will be strengthened when a diversity of backgrounds, identities, and viewpoints are represented. We thus encourage members of historically underrepresented groups in the social sciences to apply, including women, non-binary, LGBTQ+, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and first-generation low-income (FGLI) college students, among others. We also encourage applications from individuals with past experience and future aspirations to study issues related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and identity.
Responsibilities:
• Collect data through policy research and web scraping in Python
• Clean and manage large datasets
• Conduct statistical analyses of data using Stata, R, and Python
• Prepare literature reviews, background research, and other content for grant proposals and academic papers
• Draft project reports, research protocols, and other project documents
