Event Details
What would you ask the person leading UC Berkeley? Join The Berkeley Forum for a free, public town hall with Chancellor Rich Lyons, UC Berkeley’s 12th chancellor and former dean of the Haas School of Business.
Student questions and perspectives will shape this moderated conversation, with selected students asking Lyons their questions directly. Expect a broad range of topics driven by what students want to know, from campus life and belonging to university priorities and the future of public higher education. It’s a chance to hear the university’s leader respond to the concerns, ideas, and experiences of the Berkeley community in person.
