Description
Celebrating Diversity in Engineering and Science: BESSA & BGESS 50th and 30th Year Anniversaries will be hosted by the Cal Alumni Association (CAA) and the Black Alumni Club. Join alumni and current students for an evening of reunion, reminiscence, and networking.
We are proud to present our keynote speaker Dr. Gary S. May, Chancellor of the University of California, Davis and one of the founders of the Black Graduate Engineering and Science Students (BGESS) at UC Berkeley. Dr. May is a nationally recognized, lifelong champion of equity, diversity, and inclusion in academia and industry.
In addition to the evening event, BESSA and BGESS alumni are planning an afternoon symposium with panels of engineering alumni to discuss their careers in industry and academia with undergrad, graduate and high school students. More information coming soon.
