1.Clark Kerr, first chancellor of UC Berkeley
“If you are bored with Berkeley, you are bored with life.”
2.Maxine Hong Kingston, author, UC Berkeley professor emerita
“I came away from Berkeley knowing how to doubt everything, how to deconstruct anything. The Cal liberal arts education blows away old answers and leaves questions.”
3.Patrick Awuah, founder of Ashesi University in Ghana
“The reason I came to Berkeley was that I had this big idea and I was frightened by it. Coming to Haas was about…preparing myself for this mountain I was about to climb.”
4.Natalie Coughlin, twelve-time Olympic medalist swimmer
“I love Berkeley, and I really believe that it’s the best school there is.”
5.Leon Litwack, UC Berkeley professor emeritus

6.Joan Didion, author
“Berkeley is so much a part of who I am that I find it almost impossible to reflect rationally on what it ‘meant’ to me.”
7.Matt Biondi, eleven-time Olympic medalist swimmer
“Berkeley gave me the confidence to strive in all disciplines and recognize the tremendous opportunities available to me.”
