“I’m proud to have transferred and now graduated from UC Berkeley; it is an amazing accomplishment.

It felt surreal to be closing such an important chapter of my life, but it made me beyond grateful for my entire time here.” – Matthew Dubuque '25

Before coming to @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social, Momoka Yanagisawa knew about the Salz Collection, but never dreamed she’d have a chance to play one of its instruments.

When she had the opportunity to play one from the collection, the 1834 Pressenda stole her heart. bit.ly/4ihB57K

Originally containing 12 bells, the Campanile now has a 61-bell grand carillon that serenades Berkeleyans daily.

Plan to explore the Campanile with Visitor Services or check it out when you're back this year for #CalHC!

Known as the Campanile, UC Berkeley's Sather Tower (named after Jane K. Sather) was designed by John Galen Howard as part of an architectural plan to give the university a unique look.

At 307 feet tall, it's the second-tallest freestanding clock and bell tower in the world.
