Stephens Hall

Tucked away just east of Sather Tower sits Stephens Hall, a space that is home to the ethnic studies department and the departmental library, both which play an integral part in UC Berkeley’s history of civil disobedience. 

A series of violent sexual batteries have been reported on and near campus, which UCPD now believes could be related, according to a series of recent UC Berkeley WarnMe alerts. 

The UC Board of Regents will vote Tuesday on whether to take funding from four UC Berkeley projects and allocate it toward the replacement of Evans Hall, after voters rejected Proposition 13 in March and stopped the UC system from receiving additional funding.

Seismic concerns have come to the front of many campus community members' minds in recent months, leaving them worried about the potential effects of an earthquake after six campus buildings were found to have a severe implied risk to life.

On Tuesday, brave the steep UC Berkeley gradient and head over to Stephens Hall at 5 p.m. for a postcard talk from San Francisco-based historian Omar Khan.

Due to UC seismic safety policy revisions that were adopted in 2017, all buildings in the UC system must be assessed. Those deemed seismically deficient will be “retrofitted, replaced or vacated no later than the year 2030,” Christ said in a statement.

A sexual assault occurred southeast of Stephens Hall near Strawberry Creek on Sunday at approximately 10:50 a.m., according to a community alert released by UC Police Department Monday afternoon.

The C.V. Starr East Asian Library, the South/Southeast Asia Library and the Ethnic Studies Library become increasingly important to UC Berkeley.

In Berkeley, there has come to be a sort of timelessness to a smoke-shrouded sky. Though California weather regularly lends a great number of fires to the golden hills during its drier seasons, large-scale infernos are far and between. When they do happen, they are remembered.

The door to the Stephens Hall room that gave the “Peace” discipline a space on campus since 2003 is blank. Even the original metal sign that read “Peace and Conflict Studies Program,” formerly located outside its entrance, disappeared soon after the program moved to Stephens Hall in 2003.
