Our UC Berkeley Chancellor @richlyons RANG THAT BELL #GoBears
Cal Chancellor @richlyons rings in the Closing Bell on the New York Stock Exchange, in part due to UC Berkeley leading the nation in over 1800 startups founded. And there were many GO BEARS ringing out on Wall Street!

This weekend was the formal inauguration of Berkeley’s 12th Chancellor, @richlyons . Highly recommended you listen to his speech starting at 37:15. His words are making our hearts and minds expand with the promise of the future of Berkeley: “I am absolutely certain that together we can and will write a new chapter in the remarkable story of Berkeley’s never ending quest to open and explore new horizons on behalf of the greater good…There is nothing…nothing…that is beyond the reach of our university.”
