We love our #AccelScholars women’s dinner so much, this year we did a doubleheader to make up for the one we missed because of Covid. One of my absolute favorite nights of the year

1/ Five years ago, we launched the #AccelScholars at UC Berkeley, which has coalesced into just the most special community of 130+ brilliant, ambitious, supportive, mission-driven humans. It's surreal to see how far we've come and what they've all gone on to do

Immensely proud of our #AccelScholars Marsalis Gibson for winning the prestigious Eugene L. Lawler Prize and Alvin Wan for winning the distinguished Samuel Silver Memorial Scholarship Award! Congrats guys, you represent the very best of UC Berkeley #gobears

Thank you so much Amit Kumar and Lauren Illovsky for coming in to tell the M.E.T. students about the #AccelScholars program!

1/ We are entering year 7 (!) of the #AccelScholars program at UC Berkeley, during which time we've had the pleasure of working closely with 160+ talented, mission-driven, wonderful humans, who together are the most active alum community that Cal🌟 has to offer

Last week, we did our first in-person #AccelScholars session after almost two years remote on zoom, feels good to finally be back in the classroom

This week, we kicked off the school year for our newest #AccelScholars with a super relevant session on career planning and negotiation. Thank you Dustin Picasso and Paula Judge for your anecdotes, wisdom, and insights on what recruiters are looking for #gobears
