UC Berkeley Food Systems Open House
Thursday, October 8, 4 - 6
“Join us at the Oxford Tract Farm for a campus-wide showcase of food systems at UC Berkeley! New and returning students are invited to connect with the many programs, organizations, resources, and opportunities advancing just and sustainable food and farm systems across campus.
Come learn about ways to get involved — from food access and academic opportunities to sustainable food procurement, student organizations, research, and more — and meet others working across Berkeley’s food systems community.
Please complete the form below to register for this free event — your RSVP helps with food planning. You’ll also have the option to sign up for Berkeley Food Institute newsletters to stay connected with future events and opportunities.” REGISTER HERE
Birding for Everyone Fellowship
(Applications due 10/16/26)
The mission of the Birding for Everyone Fellowship is to develop and empower the next generation of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) conservation leaders. We strive to develop and elevate conservation leaders of color to better serve their communities and our collective birding community. Secondarily, we aim to cultivate conservation leaders from other underrepresented communities: members of the LGBTQ community, people with disabilities, and people from marginalized socio-economic groups.
