Video description: Rachel, a senior at UC Berkeley, shares her daily routine starting with her morning alarms, skincare, and making a bagel for breakfast. She heads to campus for her Media Studies lecture, stops to grab lunch at the MLK Student Union, and takes a break to enjoy the sun on 4.0 Hill. Later, she visits the Fannie Lou Hamer Black Resource Center to get some work done and grab a snack before attending her final class of the day, Classical Hollywood Cinema. After a quick dinner at home, she meets up with her dance group, Danceworx, for a night rehearsal and ends her day back in bed.
They say you never truly leave UC Berkeley; you just graduate to the next chapter. Vice Chancellor Steve Sutton (@stevesuttonucb) and graduating senior Rachel spent a day in each other’s shoes. 🎓
While Rachel prepares for life after Berkeley, Steve is preparing for a graduation of his own. After 22 years of service, Steve will retire this July. From his start in residential life to leading the Division of Student Affairs, he has spent his career making this campus feel like home.
Congratulations to all graduating seniors, and thank you, Steve, for your incredible legacy of leadership and belonging. Go Bears! 🐻
