Berkeley Discovery Initiative
Support a comprehensive reimagining of traditional undergraduate education.
“Berkeley Discovery is here to empower students to challenge their creativity and explore new heights outside of the classroom…a stepping-stone for my time here at Berkeley...a reminder that not every path is linear and equal, but rather unique to each individual’s experiences.” - Transfer student who took part in a Discovery-led workshop
Make this the voice of every undergraduate student at Berkeley!
Donate to Berkeley Discovery, a campus wide intervention in traditional undergraduate education, to provide every student with the tools to succeed in society and the world.
Your gift will help us:
- Fund development of curriculum-based streams where every student participates in hands-on Discovery such as team-based pioneering research guided by world-renowned faculty, in-depth artistic projects, in-depth community engagement or industry collaborations.
- Provide grants to facilitate students’ personalized, creative and innovative discovery ventures.
- Enable upgrading traditional courses, transforming students’ learning and classroom experiences through cutting-edge technologies and dynamic educational materials.
