Berkeley Changemaker impact occurs across many fronts: scientific, artistic, social, and entrepreneurial. This course helps students identify as a Berkeley Changemaker and learn the critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills to become one. Combining disciplines across UC Berkeley, the course also helps launch the Berkeley Discovery arc. Students develop their own leadership styles and discover how they can create and lead diverse teams to act upon the world. Values in Berkeley’s DNA like Questioning the Status Quo and going Beyond Yourself support students in leading from whatever position they occupy, preparing them to leave their mark on campus, in their communities, or beyond.

Class Notes

This special 8 week course runs from March 1 - May 2. By taking this course which features all asynchronous lectures (and lots of optional but highly recommended synchronous group office hours), you will meet fellow Berkeley Changemakers and you can engage with lectures, assignments and readings at the time of day which works best for you. Although the course begins after the add-drop deadline, you will be able to preview course lectures and content beginning immediately in January, although the class will not begin until March 1.

Our class is taught by an all-star team of 21 UC Berkeley faculty members, representing 16 diverse departments and 7 schools across our campus. Our guest faculty includes Chancellor Carol Christ, former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, and 8 Distinguished Teaching Award winners.
