California Bay Great Debate
After successfully completing the program, students often reflect on the experience as a space where they felt free to express themselves, their ideas, and honed their skills. They felt culturally embraced, understood, and valued. At the Great Debate, they began to see themselves as playing a leadership role wherever life would take them, whether at home, in school, in a career, or in service to others. Most of all, they felt special in knowing that leadership is a life-long calling in which they will have a special role to play with NHI.

The University of California was founded in 1868, born out of a vision in the State Constitution of a university that would “contribute even more than California’s gold to the glory and happiness of advancing generations.” The university boasts 184 academic departments and programs, a 17.8 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio, and 9 Nobel Prizes held by current faculty. They also proudly publicize that 23% of their freshmen are first generation college students. “We are excited for the opportunities that will arise from our partnership with the National Hispanic Institute,” said Trey Moore, associate director of diversity and inclusion at the University of California, Berkeley. “We look forward to working together in engaging more students to showcase not only Berkeley but encouraging the pursuit of higher education as a whole. With this partnership, we intend to expand our efforts in serving the Latinx community and the state of California.” (www.berkeley.edu) |
