Oakland Rotary Thursday Club Meeting - UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons

American higher education is at a crossroads, facing funding pressures, public skepticism, and challenges to long-standing norms and values.

UC Berkeley’s 12th Chancellor, Rich Lyons, will discuss how the nation’s leading public university is confronting these realities while launching a new era of excellence. He will share a forward-looking vision centered on innovation and entrepreneurship, new programs designed to bridge divides, and strategies for long-term financial independence.

At a time when the stakes for public higher education could not be higher, Chancellor Lyons will outline how UC Berkeley plans to lead through both opportunity and uncertainty.
