Student-Athlete Professional Field Trip Program

"I am very grateful to have had this opportunity and hope to participate in a couple more (field trips) before I graduate. This experience and knowledge learned will help me better prepare myself for my career."

- Kyle Coan - Cal Swimming and Diving

Cal Student-Athlete Development is committed to enriching our student-athletes’ holistic growth by providing educational resources, focusing on what we have deemed as “The Three Cs:” Career Preparation, Character Development, and Community Engagement. Starting this year, Cal Student-Athlete Development will take advantage of UC Berkeley’s prime geographic location by rolling out a new Professional Field Trip Series. This program will create opportunities for student-athletes to visit local businesses, tour their facilities, learn about career opportunities and build relationships with executives and staff.

Please make your gift today to help support our student-athletes professional development. 

Anonymous donors generously offered to match each donation to the Cal Student-Athlete Development program 1-to-1. For every $100 you give, they will give an additional $100. $10,000 today translates into an additional $10,000 for tomorrow's change.

Your contributions will directly benefit Cal student-athletes by: 

• Funding more field trip opportunities

• Making this program available to more student-athletes 

• Providing charter mini buses for transportation

• Ensuring student-athletes receive a light meal on their trip
