There is no single type of person that exists here at UC Berkeley. We’re a school made up of dreamers, activists, artists, future entrepreneurs and so many other types of leaders in the making. As a group, we never run out of ways to make a name for ourselves, and as individuals, we know a thing or two about forging our own paths.

This issue explores how the distinctive spirit of the school manifests itself in many ways. This exploration includes the profile of a student writing a senior thesis on Disney, UC Berkeley’s place in pop culture and the most entertaining UC Berkeley-related Twitters for you to follow.

UC Berkeley students have a tall legacy to live up to. Let Cal Day be the starting point for you as you discover the thriving medley of people, buildings and experiences that exist within this campus. If you want to make your mark at UC Berkeley, know that there is nothing here to stop you from doing so.

5 most obscure majors on campus

Do you want to chop a log with an axe? Then forestry is the major for you. The forestry major doesn’t necessarily mean you want to be a park ranger. Over the years, the focus has shifted from managing forests to sustainability. Choosing between two concentrations — professional forestry and natural sciences — forestry students study the art and science of managing forested landscapes. More than two-thirds of the students are female, a bit of an anomaly in the field. One of the oldest programs at UC Berkeley, forestry has a 100-year-old legacy to uphold.
