UC Berkeley senior, Ju Hong, describes his life as an "undocumented" student.
The Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund awarded $1 million to the University of California, Berkeley, for scholarships for undocumented students. This is the single largest gift for scholarships of this type at a U.S. university.
The gift will assist the nearly 200 undocumented students at UC Berkeley from 20 different countries who currently qualify, and will help more in the future. These students are not eligible for federal Pell grants, federally backed loans or work-study positions. Their average family income is $24,000.

I did my PhD thesis at Berkeley, trying to measure the primeval heat radiation from the Big Bang, but the apparatus didn't work the first time. So I went from Berkeley to NASA in New York and Maryland, the COBE satellite was chosen for construction, and it worked despite enormous challenges. We confirmed the Big Bang theory (what a pathetically small name for an infinitely expanding universe), discovered its hot and cold spots (explaining how we can exist), and started a new industry. Now, I'm working on pushing telescopes beyond where they've ever gone, with the great James Webb Space Telescope, planned successor to the magnificent Hubble Space Telescope. I will tell the history of the universe and how we found out about it, I will show the new telescope and what we hope to discover with it, and I will imagine our future, including how "we" might go to the stars.
