Inspired by our alumni

Alumni Spotlight

At Berkeley Engineering, our alumni community is one of our strongest assets. From founding innovative startups to career networking to giving back to the college, our alums are a rich resource for information, inspiration and innovation.

The alumni spotlight page features members of this vibrant community, sharing news on individual alumni and where they are now. Read on to learn more about your fellow Berkeley Engineering graduates, or complete this short questionnaire to participate yourself. New spotlights will be added throughout the year, and we want to hear your story!
