Meet Your Professors Mixer

,

Early in the semester, La Raza hosted our second annual Meet Your Professors Mixer. This event allowed our new 1L students the opportunity to chat with their 1L professors in a casual setting. The students and professors shared some snacks and non-class related conversations in Steinhart Courtyard. The goal was to strengthen relationships so that students feel more comfortable attending office hours and reaching out to their professors when they need help as the semester progresses. Both professors and students alike were happy they attended!

Native Land Acknowledgement


We take a moment to recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin) (Hoo-Choon), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-Chen-yo) speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Muwekma (Muh-wek-muh) Ohlone Tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona Band.

We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has benefited, and continues to benefit, from the use and occupation of this land since the institution's founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university's relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold the University of California, Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
