You just have to immerse yourself in it. You should just constantly be building. That's what's going to give you the best chance of having the relevant skill set that is needed to make a difference in technology.
San Francisco Bay University has secured roughly 4,000 square feet inside the Center for Employment Training on Vine Street and aims to bring the space online later this year. This move establishes the Fremont-based school's inaugural neighborhood campus right near Downtown San Jose.
That was the most profound moment for me. Students were walking by, stopping and going, 'What's this?' and I would watch them texting their friends to come down from the upper floors to see the performance. That was an experience I don't think these students would have had otherwise because they were in the library.
Each summer, the University of California, Berkeley's College of Environmental Design (CED) becomes an intensive laboratory for architectural, landscape, and urban exploration. Through two complementary programs-Design + Innovation for Sustainable Cities (DISC) and the Summer Institutes-Berkeley offers an immersive curriculum grounded in disciplinary rigor, intentional exchange, and a shared institutional culture. Together, these programs reflect CED's long-standing multidisciplinary structure, with architecture, landscape architecture, city planning, and urban design thriving and collaborating under one roof.
"These numbers reflect California's commitment to academic excellence, access, and innovation, values that have made the University of California the world's greatest research university," said UC president James B. Milliken. "The value of a UC degree is abundantly clear. An investment in UC is the best investment in the future of our students, California's workforce, and the state's economy."
"We're bringing together two really significant and very diverse institutions, and it's a big-scale operation, so we'll be able to look at a lot of things across a lot of different environments," said Mindy Tarlow, senior fellow and professor at NYU's Marron Institute of Urban Management, where the lab will initially be housed.
New international student enrollment grew by 43% at UC Berkeley this school year to 2,363, according to University of California data released Thursday, despite a federal immigration crackdown that has deterred some foreign students from studying in the U.S. Enrollment of undergraduates from California also increased, as the university welcomed 46,151 students, its largest-ever student body, up from 45,882 last year.
While Newsom supports more bachelor's degrees for students, he's repeatedly stated his opposition to adding more community college baccalaureate programs that go outside an agreed-upon process in a law that he and lawmakers approved in 2021. That law said community colleges can develop up to 30 bachelor's degrees per academic year, as long as the degrees do not duplicate the baccalaureate programs of the University of California and California State University.
Providence Christian College president Steven B. Kortenhoeven wrote in the closure announcement that "heightened accreditation expectations, and the loss of federal funds" also played a role in the closure decision. The Department of Education recognized PCC as a Hispanic-serving institution in 2023, providing it with $3 million, which was to be distributed over five years in $600,000 increments. But last year the Trump administration deemed such programs unconstitutional and stopped awarding related grants to minority-serving institutions.
