As spring turns to summer and the light at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic-imposed tunnel shines brighter, three prominent UC Berkeley administrators met virtually to reflect on the past year and discuss what the future holds.
Moderated by spokesperson Dan Mogulof, Monday’s event saw Chancellor Carol Christ, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Paul Alivisatos and Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education Catherine Koshland come together for the 2021 Year End Campus Conversation. The three shared what the past year had taught them and also discussed what students, faculty and staff should expect in fall 2021.
Though Christ recognized the challenge of rebuilding the campus community, given that half of the undergraduate students have never been on campus, she feels both excitement and anticipation for the fall 2021 semester.
