CAMPUS CONVERSATION SERIES

BINST Students Attend Campus Events Together and Discuss

Join the Berkeley Institute for a series designed to connect students with the rich intellectual resources of UC Berkeley. Each series event will begin with attending a talk on campus. Afterward, we’ll gather over a meal, hosted by the Berkeley Institute, to reflect, process, and connect the event’s ideas to the conversations we’ve been having under our Fall 2025 Semester Theme, “Enchantment and Disenchantment.”

We’re excited to encourage engagement with resources available to undergraduate and graduate students, to provide a helpful way to take advantage of those resources, and to embrace the benefits of thinking together.

NOTE: The Berkeley Institute is not affiliated with any center on campus, and is not co-sponsoring the below events. The aim of this series is to encourage campus engagement among Berkeley Institute students and to provide a forum afterwards for discussion. Students are welcome to attend any public lecture on campus throughout the semester.

To participate in the meal, event attendance is required. Space is limited.

Reach out to info@binst.org with any questions.
