As commencement draws near, soon-to-be graduates are getting ready to spread their wings and leave the nest. Whether we’re fully prepared for the future or plunging into the unknown, we’re all going out into the world and leaving our undergraduate careers behind.

And even though it’s time to dive headfirst and try new things, it’s also time for us to reflect on our experiences here at UC Berkeley. From finding a home on this campus to finding a family, this special issue is a tribute to the memories we’ve made.

So as you leave this campus donning your cap and gown, don’t forget to say one last goodbye to the Berkeley you made yours.
