If you've ever caught the infectious enthusiasm of a student ambassador leading a campus tour, or felt your chest swell with Berkeley pride after reading about a world-changing faculty research project on Berkeley News, you've met the team at the Office of Communications & Public Affairs.
As the first point of contact for many visitors, we tell the Berkeley story to inspire audiences and elevate the image of the university. We partner closely with various campus audiences — from the chancellor, deans and faculty members, to staff, students and alumni — as well as external media organizations who can amplify Berkeley's important contributions across a wide range of subjects.
