Join Gauri Mutha (B.S.’27 EECS, MSE) on a day in her life as an engineering student at UC Berkeley!
She adds: “As an international student at UC Berkeley pursuing electrical engineering and computer sciences as well as materials science and engineering, every day here feels like proof of how far I’ve come and how much this place has given me.
Berkeley has challenged me in the best ways — through rigorous classes, research opportunities, late nights in labs and conversations with people who constantly inspire me to think bigger.
Coming here meant building a life far from home, learning to navigate a new country and finding my place in one of the most intellectually exciting communities in the world.
Berkeley has given me more than an education; it has given me courage, independence, friendships, purpose and the confidence to dream beyond what I once thought was possible.
I’m grateful for the professors, classmates, mentors and friends who have shaped my journey and made this campus feel like home. Every day here reminds me that growth is not always easy, but it is always worth it. Proud to be a Bear. Go Bears!”
