The Berkeley International Office (BIO), the Center for Teaching and Learning, and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) are collaborating to host a series of workshops designed to bring students, faculty, and staff together in community and conversation. Each session will spotlight a new aspect of mental health responses to tense interactions and relationships, including cultural humility, interfaith dialogue, and navigating contentious moments with care. This series aims to cultivate a more inclusive and supportive climate for faculty, staff, and students, with grant funding to address bias and bigotry on campus from UCOP.

We hope to see you at one or more sessions. Please see the program description and event details below for our upcoming September workshops. We have both student-facing and faculty/staff-facing workshops each month. We are partnering with I-House for our student-facing events.

The John Gardner Fellowship program selects six Fellows during the spring semester from among the graduating classes at UC Berkeley and Stanford University and provides each a $52,000 stipend to work in the governmental or nonprofit organization that matches their public service interests for ten months. Past fellows have been placed at such organizations as the White House Office of Science and Technology, the State Department, and Governor Newsom's office. During their Fellowship, Fellows are paired with a senior-level mentor who guides their professional growth and development and provides opportunities and exposure, which exceeds what is normally available to a recent graduate. The goal of the John Gardner Fellowship is to provide meaningful postgraduate leadership opportunities and to encourage UC Berkeley’s best students to pursue a career in public service.
