A look back at 12 major happenings on campus, as chronicled by UC Berkeley News.
More than a few major milestones marked UC Berkeley’s 2024 calendar: one chancellor’s retirement and another’s arrival, the successful end of a multi-billion-dollar fundraising campaign, the long-awaited start of construction at People’s Park and the opening of a novel apartment building for transfer students.
Berkeley also facilitated the largest repatriation of cultural items in Hawaiian history and became a model for ways to bridge divides between people with conflicting views, with several new programs, fellowships and classes across campus designed to support healthy disagreement.
UC Berkeley News chronicled these happenings, and below we present the top 12 stories of the year.
