About Us

UC Berkeley SWE acknowledges that UC Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has, and continues to benefit from, the use and occupation of this land, since the institution's founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community, inclusion, and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university's relationship to Native peoples. As members of the Berkeley community, it is vitally important that we not only recognize the history of the land on which we stand but also, we recognize that the Muwekma Ohlone people are alive and flourishing members of the Berkeley and broader Bay Area communities today.

What opportunities does SWE provide for UC Berkeley students?

SWE organizes many different events for students throughout the semester. We hold infosessions and career workshops with our sponsors, giving students the unique opportunity to network with industry leaders and professionals. There are also volunteer opportunities through our various outreach programs. Furthermore, we have socials and hangouts for members to come and have fun together. We also can't forget about our advocacy, equity, and inclusion focused workshops! To stay up to date with all the latest events, sign up for our weekly SWEmails!
