UC Berkeley School of Information

UC Berkeley’s School of Information and Goldman School of Public Policy proudly announce the launch of the Executive Fellowship in Applied Technology Policy, a pioneering program designed to empower senior leaders at the intersection of technology and public policy. Set to begin on March 6, 2025, this innovative eight-month fellowship brings together accomplished public sector technology leaders and distinguished academic thought leaders to shape the future of digital governance and policy.

The School of Information announced today that Arati Prabhakar, former Science and Technology Advisor to President Biden, will deliver the keynote speech at the School’s commencement ceremony at UC Berkeley’s Hearst Greek Theatre on Monday, May 19, 2025. 

“As the capabilities and evolution of our technologies accelerate, the choices we make about them now will define the world for generations to come,” said Prabhakar. “UC Berkeley’s School of Information is equipping students with the knowledge and ethical foundation to lead in this critical moment. I’m thrilled to celebrate this year’s graduates as they embark on their journeys to shape a better future for all of us.”
