The Pledge has five key components: to strengthen Berkeley’s partnership with K-12 schools, and attempt a new outreach model that can be replicated in the state and nation to enhance Berkeley’s statewide recruitment activities to attract top performing students, especially those from disadvantaged populations to increase scholarship support and employment opportunities so that financial barriers do not prevent students from attending Berkeley to strengthen campus academic support services to sustain high retention and graduation rates to encourage undergraduates to pursue graduate study and professional careers This Berkeley Pledge report has been prepared by Jacqueline Frost, Office of Public Affairs
