Notes from the Field

Halloween celebrations around the UC Berkeley campus saw haunted houses, parties and a myriad of creative costumes.

Joe McBride, a UC Berkeley forestry professor emeritus, and the Claremont Canyon Conservancy issued a proposal to manage vegetation for campus property located in the Strawberry and Claremont canyons.

From a Democratic presidential candidate to the vice president of BART District 3, the Berkeley Forum’s fall 2019 speaker lineup is bringing to campus a mixture of international perspectives and ones close to home.

Students were outraged when a photo, posted Tuesday on the Overheard at UC Berkeley Facebook page, seemingly offered parents the opportunity to pay $250 to have their students' names on the spring 2019 commencement program’s “honor roll.” The letter, however, is not what it was initially perceived to be.

This year’s Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists include two UC Berkeley alumni who found their roots in journalism at The Daily Californian.

The Daily Californian elected campus junior Soofie Motamedi as its next editor in chief April 9.

What happens when the deputy director of the New York Times, the dean of Stanford’s medical school and a 12-time Olympic swimming medalist walk into a panel? The Berkeley Forum’s spring 2019 speaker lineup is born.

UC Berkeley students replaced the vandalized upright piano on Sproul Plaza on Monday thanks to a generous donation from an Oakland resident, restoring the “magic” it brought to campus students.

UC Berkeley students will replace the broken piano on Sproul Plaza at the start of the spring semester with the help of community donations.

Almost all of the keys were smashed into the keyboard so they can no longer be pulled up, and it is likely, according to campus junior Jonas Katona, that most of the hammers inside of the piano are broken.
