Experience Berkeley


PG&E, AT&T, and other foundations and individuals have made a multi-year commitment for Stiles Hall's Experience Berkeley, whose goal is to increase the number of Black, Latino and Native American students applying to and attending U.C. Berkeley.
 

The program identifies promising high school and community college students and brings them to the Berkeley campus in small groups during the summer and school year. At UC Berkeley they are introduced to college life, taken to classes, introduced to test taking and essay writing strategies, and mentored throughout the application process. Students who apply and are accepted are brought back to campus for meetings with faculty, students, and financial aid officers.

  • 110 of 500 students applying, participated; 100% stated their intent to apply
  • 52% were admitted. "Phenomenal for any outreach program", Walter Robinson, Director of Admissions
  • 94% of the students who attended Black Senior Week-end will attend UCB.
  • 120 Black, Latino and Native community college students participated. 90% of those admitted will attend UCB.
  • UC Berkeley's Chancellor Robert Birgeneau expressed his gratitude that private funders are doing the work that the University cannot do because of Proposition 209, "Reaching out to specific communities for the best students is increasingly important if we are to maintain our position as the nation's premier public teaching and research institution, and live up to our promise to Californians that we will educate their next generation of leaders."
