“I had not served my larger community as a college student in a direct way until I came to North Carolina to get people to register to vote. It was then that I understood that social activism is not just the protest, but also the work that is being done within our communities.”

OZICHI EMEZIEM, Class of 2017, Major in Comparative Literature and Ethnic Studies, Hometown: Antioch

Read more about how Ozichi’s experience with voter registration in North Carolina affected her.

"As co-director for Cal in the Capital, I co-taught a DeCal course and had the pleasure of individually mentoring 25 interns. The opportunity I had to impact, inspire, and empower is what the PSC — and public service — is all about. It is about what we can accomplish together and how we can help each other grow.”

PARAS SHAH Class of 2015, B.A. in History and Political Science, with honors, and John Gardner Fellow

Read more about Paras’s journey from Cal in the Capital co-director to John Gardner Fellow.

“Being a Cal alumnus, I take great pride in the spirit and intellectual capacity of some of the brightest students in the world. The BUILD participants are more than mentors, they are role models and inspirational to the students they tutor.”

BRIAN ROGERS, Class of 1995, B.S. in Business Administration, Chief Executive Officer of the Rogers Family Foundation Hometown: Oakland

Read more about Brian’s journey from Cal student to teacher to supporter of the BUILD literacy program.
