Yesterday Oakland Rotary welcomed UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons for a fascinating talk about how our country’s #1 public university is navigating the challenges and opportunities of these times.
We also heard from longtime Rotarian and Cal grad Ahmad Anderson - a 2022 Cal Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee. He led everyone in a rousing Cal Bears chant.
What else? We inducted our newest member Randy Maderios from First Foundation; heard the 3-minute intro from newish member Ann Bricks; provided updates on our tree planting and Fairyland improvement projects; invited folks out to our next feed the hungry volunteer day; and shared news of our upcoming gala, business development mixer, and new Rotary Pathway guide for new members. Phew! That’s a lot for one hour but that’s how Rotary rolls!

UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons is the featured speaker at this week’s Rotary Oakland meeting.
(#GoBears! 📣)
Rich Lyons is the 12th Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley, which was recently recognized once again as the #1 public university in the US.
An economist and former Dean of the Haas School of Business, he assumed office on July 1, 2024. He has been focused on strengthening the university’s Principles of Community: integrity, diversity, excellence, freedom of expression, and access.
Join us for a lively meeting, updates on our grants, gala, and service projects, induction of new members, fellowship, and a fantastic speaker. See you Thursday at the Henry J!
