One of a pair whose second set of chicks fledged last spring, the noble falcon and its family stole the hearts of the campus community and people around the world on social media. With renewed confidence we now look to the future. Our comprehensive strategic plan guides us toward fulfilling three aspirational pillars: empowering our students and faculty to change the world; discovering innovative solutions to society’s grand challenges; and embracing the California spirit that is fueled by inclusion, entrepreneurial activity, and diversity of every sort. The strategic plan is already driving changes in the undergraduate experience that will improve the support and academic counseling we provide and put discovery and creative expression at the very center of our students’ academic lives.

    December 2019 THE SEASON OF GIVING We are grateful to the many BRIDGE employees who gave generously to fund Adopt-A- Property Holiday Parties for the residents of Marea Alta and La Vereda in San Leandro. Last Tuesday, 200 families and seniors enjoyed food and festivities, and all received gift cards in envelopes decorated by our staff. A gift to BRIDGE, no matter the amount, is your opportunity to strengthen communities and improve people's lives. Make your gift today POTRERO IS HOME Lisa and her family have moved into 1101 Connecticut, BRIDGE's first new building to be completed as part of the HOPE SF Potrero Hill revitalization--a comprehensive effort to rebuild 619 units of distressed public housing and create another 1,000 homes with a range of affordability, plus community amenities, retail, open space and neighborhood services. "I love the community, I love the people here," she said. "I'm really glad that we didn't have to move away." Watch Lisa's Story CIVIC ENGAGEMENT BRIDGE residents range from retail associates, preschool teachers and restaurant workers to veterans and retirees--all priced out of the housing market. In a recent survey of adult BRIDGE residents, we also learned that they have a high level of civic participation when it comes to voting: 70% are registered voters, and of those, 89% say they regularly head to the polls!
