Presented by the Cal Alumni Association
University of California, Berkeley Homecoming 2010
The Cal Alumni Association (CAA) presented Can Cal Afford Athletics? A conversation with Sandy Barbour, a frank discussion about the future of sports at Cal. San Francisco Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius engaged Cal Director of Athletics, Sandy Barbour, in a conversation about the value of intercollegiate athletics and the cost of being competitive at the highest levels.
Offered during Homecoming 2010, the presentation was part of the California Live! series of lectures and discussions that brings to life the themes of CAA's award-winning magazine, California.
Since 1897, California magazine has served to inform, involve, and inspire readers, connecting them to each other and the University through timely yet contextual writing and art.

"Towards Sustainable Food Systems: A Tale of Three Transitions," Olivier De Schutter, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, sets the challenge for the Institute
The Course Thread Program allows UC Berkeley undergraduates to explore intellectual themes that connect courses across departments and disciplines. Without creating new majors or minors, the program instead highlights connections between existing courses. Course Threads help students see the value in educational breadth while also pursuing a more in-depth and well-rounded knowledge on one particular topic. Course Thread topics include: Human Rights, Cultural Forms in Transit, The Historical & Modern City, Visible Language, Humanities & Environment, Human-Centered Design, Old Things, and Science & Society.
Students following a thread enroll in at least 3 courses from the thread over the course of their study at Berkeley, and participate in at least one year-end symposium. The Course Threads Program is made possible by the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
