Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. This Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on their courage, dedication, and the freedoms they helped protect. We are especially grateful for the members of our alumni community and all those connected to California who have served our nation.

Yesterday, the California campus community came together for Walk a Mile in Her Shoes.

Participants walked in solidarity to raise awareness about sexual assault and gender-based violence, helping spark important conversations across our community.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported one another, and helped make a difference. 💜
