From Berkeley

I am a citizen of this planet, who believes there is a purpose and mission to our existence. I pursue that mission and try to enjoy every lesson, every day, and every last drop of the pain and joy we drink when we live. I live a mostly regret-free life, with each failure quickly becoming a valuable experience and something to laugh about, and every success something about which to be thankful and celebrative. I do all of this in and around my beloved Berkeley, California.

Berkeley Mourns

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students:

Today has been declared a Day of Mourning in Virginia. In sympathy with our colleagues at Virginia Tech, we are dedicating today's noon playing of the Campanile to those who died in Monday's tragic events. We ask you all to pause in what you are doing at 12 noon for a moment of silence in reflection for those who died at Virginia Tech. Thank you.

Robert J. Birgeneau Chancellor
