Students and Faculty Share "What Makes the I School 'out of this world'?"
To our I School shining stars 🌟,
#CalBigGive, UC Berkeley’s annual 24-hour fundraising blitz has begun. Today we ask the community to come together and support the potential of our gifted students; the retention of our extraordinary faculty; and the interdisciplinary teaching, learning, and research that make the I School unique.
We’re asking everyone, alumni, students, staff, faculty, and friends to join in this annual campaign. Participation makes a huge difference!
We have two exciting opportunities this year to unlock additional support for this fund:
🔒 The I School Fund Donor Challenge: Alums Timothy DeWolf & Cristina Campbell will contribute $5,000 once 200 donors make gifts to the I School Fund.
🔓 The I School Fund Dollar Challenge: An anonymous donor will match $500 after the first $500 of the campaign has been contributed.
So please, join us in celebrating our stellar students and faculty and in keeping the #ISchool "out of this world" by joining us on social media and/or giving a gift.
Make your gift here:

Head of School Hany Farid explains Deepfakes
WATCH: The Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity has produced an animated “explainer” video about deepfakes and misinformation, featuring perspectives from Dr. Hany Farid, Head of School and Associate Dean of the UC Berkeley School of Information and a Senior Faculty Advisor for CLTC.
Produced as part of the “What? Now What? So What?” explainer video series, this short video provides an overview of what deepfakes are, why they matter, and what can be done to mitigate potential risks associated with “fake” content.
