A Message from Our President:

Stepping onto Berkeley's campus can feel overwhelming. With so many organizations and paths to choose from, finding a community that feels like home isn't always easy. For me, the Berkeley Forum became that place.

Through Forum, I found peers who are intellectually curious and genuinely passionate about ideas and the world around them. I also found mentors who supported and guided me through my early years at Berkeley, navigating classes, internship recruiting, and everything in between. Most importantly, I discovered a community where curiosity is celebrated and where I felt I truly belonged.

What's remarkable about Forum is the diversity of our members. Because we manage every aspect of our events, from speaker outreach to marketing to moderation, students from across majors, interests, and backgrounds come together around our shared mission. The beauty of this club is the mix of people it brings together, each contributing something different to our community.

Whether you're new to Berkeley or looking for something different, there's a place for you here. Come to our recruitment events, talk to our members, and get to know us - we can't wait to meet you.

Benjamin Wong (he/him)

Fall 2026 President, The Berkeley Forum
