Thank you for a great 2022 Homecoming! We’ve posted lots of pictures to our online photo album and videos from many of the events to a YouTube playlist. You can also visit the individual event pages to see if recordings are available.

Check back here throughout the year for announcements of year-round events for alums. The next Alumni and Parents Weekend at Homecoming for thousands of alums, parents, and families takes place October 6–8, 2023. Registration opens in July.

Hi there, Golden Bear! We want to make it easy for you to connect with other alums and Cal family members and engage with Berkeley’s scholars and researchers. Use the reunion/affinity groups filter to find events planned for you and your friends. Have fun exploring!

Come together with Cal alums, parents, family, and friends to bask in Berkeley’s light! You can search by various filters to help you plan the perfect weekend.
