Ed Roberts, born January 23, 1939, was a UC Berkeley alum and leader of the disability rights movement. Today, we reflect on his monumental impact, which includes helping to create the Physically Disabled Students Program at Cal โ€” the first of its kind in the nation โ€” and co-founding the World Institute on Disability in 1983.

Fun fact: The CA legislative bill that established Ed Roberts Day back in 2010 came about in part thanks to another Berkeley alum, Alex Ghenis, who worked with UC Berkeley's Disabled Students' Program during his time on campus and acted as president for the campusโ€™s Disabled Students Union.

โ€œLifeโ€™s most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On May 17, 1967, Dr. King spoke on the steps of Sproul Hall at UC Berkeley. Eighteen years after the speech, the ASUC Student Union was renamed in his honor after petitions by Ronnie Stevenson, an early member of the Black Panther Party and a Berkeley alum.

As we witness the devastation caused by the fires impacting our state, we understand the need to prioritize family and safety above all else. We want to ensure that the college application process does not add unnecessary stress or anxiety during such a turbulent time. Flexibility and compassion will guide our decisions as we move forward.

Wu Performance Hall is a much-needed, midsize venue for intimate concerts and helps address the 236% increase in music majors from 2020 to 2024.
