Advancing knowledge and practice wherever people interact with information and technology

Throughout the Spring 2018 commencement ceremony, speakers asked the graduates to use what they’d learned at the I School to improve the world.

Keynote speaker Joseph Hall addressed the crowd almost exactly 10 years after his own Berkeley I School graduation. He appealed to the Class of 2018, in this 150th Anniversary of UC Berkeley, to keep in mind Berkeley's simple, yet powerful motto, fiat lux.

MIMS student speaker Edward Yip solicited the graduates to create technologies to benefit society, and MIDS student speaker Ashton Chevallier asked that they work to make the world a better, less biased place.

The School of Information 2018 graduation ceremony celebrated outstanding MIMS and MIDS capstone projects and outstanding faculty and students.

Chen Award-winning MIMS projects explore strengthening the bonds between pets and owners, and improving user retention and experience in MOOCs.

The Varian Award-winning MIDS project aims to give doctors more time to focus on their patients, rather than their charts.
