Berkeley unveils 80th Anniversary Legacy Timeline

2011 marks Berkeley College’s 80th anniversary and is celebrating 80 years of changing lives. Throughout the year special events will commemorate this occasion and a special 3D wall exhibit has been created and will be displayed at each campus that highlights Berkeley College’s achievements over the past eight decades. A virtual timeline is also planned. The Leadership Berkeley Class of 2010 conceived the idea for the timeline which was expanded upon by the 80th Anniversary Committee to its present form.

The 9-panel exhibit traces the 80-year Berkeley College history from its inception with The Berkeley Schools in East Orange, NJ, in 1931 and the Graybar Building near Grand Central Station, NY, in 1936, until today. The Brooklyn Campus Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, the Newark Campus 5th Anniversary Celebration, and the New York City Campus Howard Newhouse Dedication highlighted the unveiling of the timeline exhibit.

Berkeley alumni gather for a happy hour at The Stag's Head, NYC

On Thursday, June 23, 2011, 15 alumni gathered at The Stag's Head bar and grill in Manhattan for a happy hour.  "I had a great time and I'm sure the other Berkeley College alumni did also," said Karen Venzen '05.

"We have thousands of alumni who live right here in New York City, so I'm not surprised we had a good turnout," said Michael Smullen, Director of Alumni Relations.  "Happy hours are a great way to network, but they are also a great way to meet friends you haven't seen in a while, or make new friends."

Alumni in attendance enjoyed two free drinks and hors d'ouevres on the rooftop of The Stag's Head.
