Barbara Christian - Roy Thomas Scholarship Fund

If you are concerned about one or more of the following at Cal
* Declining numbers of African American students
* African American student outcomes (academic/professional)
* Financial support for African American undergraduate students
* Mentoring for African American students
...
* Amplifying the voices of those invested in our success
please show your support by doing two quick things.

1) Click on <http://www.blackcalgives.com/>www.blackcalgives.com and donate to the Barbara Christian - Roy Thomas Scholarship Fund.

2) Help us get the word out. Forward this email widely and post <http://www.blackcalgives.com/>www.blackcalgives.com on social media. Try not to post a naked link - share how getting a degree from Cal made a difference, or about the power of showing up for the next generation. Something short and sweet can create a movement that will change lives.

If you were a low income student, struggling with rising tuition and fees and overwhelming cost of living expenses, how would $4,000 a semester impact your choice to attend college? How would it impact your work schedule when you got there? How would the extra time freed from work impact your grades? How would informed, caring mentors impact your personal and professional decisions?

Will you stand up and impact the life of a Black college student at UC Berkeley by donating at <http://www.blackcalgives.com/>www.blackcalgives.com? At minimum, please share this post with others.

Thanks,

Dr. Erin Conner Ngeno
