"We Are Berkeley Engineers!"

GOLD alumni are leading the way in the engineering community and the world at large. Whether we are currently in grad school, working at a Bay Area tech company, or traveling the world hoping to bring new technologies to communities-in-need, we will always have a home at the College of Engineering — the institution that has helped us become the people that we are today. As a unique and talented group of individuals we truly know what it means to be a Berkeley Engineer.

GOLD Alumni Support Makes a Huge Impact!

Why your support is so essential:

• Strength in Numbers: Did you know that young alumni make up one-fourth of all College alumni? Your participation is essential in establishing a strong foundation upon which the College can grow.

• Sustaining Excellence: Not only does your annual gift sustain the College’s ability to attract, retain, and support the world's leading faculty, it supports student-life activities, academic programs, and so much more! Click here for more information.

• Filling the Gap:State appropriations support less than one-third of the College’s annual budget. Private gifts from alumni, parents and friends are essential in filling the gap.

Why Are YOU Important?

Charitable contributions from our alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends make it all possible.  Whether you choose to give now or later, your gift will benefit Berkeley Engineering.  Each gift, no matter how large or small, is important.

Why Give Each Year?

Remember, it's not how much you give, but that you give. Your participation — especially loyal participation from year to year — not only aides the College financially, but also factors into our national ranking as one of the top 3 engineering schools in the country.  Your participation and gifts affect the quality of programs and student life.  Your annual support will provide exciting new developments and greater opportunities for Berkeley Engineering students.
