The Lewis and Kala Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Fund

The Lewis and Kala Fund will be used to celebrate, educate, cultivate, and grow our DEIBJ programs at Rausser College of Natural Resources. Gifts to this fund help us to bring together our community of students, staff, and faculty. The fund will play a key role in promoting a more inclusive and equitable learning environment — nurturing future leaders who are prepared to engage with diverse perspectives, and contributing to broader societal change. Your generosity can support impactful programs including the Students of Color Environmental Collective Mentorship Program, the Summer Internship Grants Program, and the HBCU-Berkeley Environmental Scholars for Change Program, which facilitates two-way learning among UC Berkeley and Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students.
