Melanie is clearly foreseeing her future...
I was currently in Portland, Oregon for the annual write/speak/code conference where I'm learning how to get into technical writing, open source coding, and speaking at conferences. My sophomore year at Middlebury College was amazing, I really liked the classes I took and met so many new people. I'm still a computer science & psychology double major and am involved in the women in cs club and women's rugby team. This year, I got to attend various events such as HackPrinceton, HackMIT, Grace Hopper, Pearl Hacks, and Harvard WeCode. I also won the Google Women Techmakers scholarship and the BOLD Women's Leadership scholarship. This summer, I interned as a full stack software engineer at a women's health tech startup, DotLab and taught middle school girls how to code video games with Girls Make Games. I traveled to participate in different tech programs at companies like Google, Twitter, and Square. I'm very excited for the upcoming school year!

Carmen isn't done yet! She's making even bigger moves. Let's congratulate her. Read where she's been and where she's going...
"It felt almost too surreal graduating from UC Berkeley this past May. After four years, I finally did it! I walked across the stage twice with a dual degree in Business Administration and Media Studies. My work at the UC Berkeley Office of Communications & Public Affairs since freshman year and research through the Haas School of Business paid off when I received my admission into graduate school. Last week, I packed my life into a suitcase and brought my beloved MacBook Pro to New York City, where I will be pursuing a Master of Science in Strategic Communication at Columbia University. Born and raised in Oakland with the UC Berkeley campus a mere 20-minute drive from my family home, this is my first big move away from the Bay Area -- and I can't be more excited for what's to come as I tackle my next challenge in the media capital of the world. Here's to new beginnings in the city that never sleeps! :)"

Carmen has something to say about our David Bunnell
This post is long overdue. 10/18/16, you left for a better place. I didn't receive the news until last month; it was three days after the election. I cried more than when I heard the election results, because in a world filled with violence and hate, I had forgotten love.
Three years ago, I was awarded the Andrew Fluegelman Foundation Award: a MacBook Pro computer. The Founder, David Bunnell, read my application essay. Throughout high school, I completed my assignments on an old desktop or at the public library. After getting into Berkeley, I was worried because I couldn't afford a laptop. David and the Fluegelman Foundation not only gave me the technology I needed to succeed in college, but they became valuable mentors. David checked in with us regularly, invited scholars to fundraising events with leaders in tech, and even his holiday parties. I remember him and his wife Jackie not letting me leave the party until I had taken 2/3rds of the leftovers home in Tupperware containers. Never have I known anyone so kindhearted and so caring of Oakland's youth. To change an aspiring student's life, sometimes it's not about the zeroes on a check. When I was struggling my first semester at Cal, I voiced my concerns I would become yet another statistic -- a statistic of the neighborhood I saw through the bars on my bedroom window of victims of hate crimes, gentrification, and a society that favors those with more than less. David believed in me. He alway did. As I write this post on my MacBook, I wish I could've said goodbye in person. Thank you, David. Rest in paradise.

Hoa Nguyen prepares for a busy Summer.
It’s crazy how fast time flew by! I can’t believe I’m almost done with my second year already and will be a junior soon. My spring semester has been super busy with schoolwork and club activities, but also fun as I got to meet new people and learn many things.
This semester, I picked up another job as an HR Student Assistant and am still working at my tutoring job. I’m also currently in the process of planning out my summer plan and applying to summer internships. Even though I’m so busy with school and work, I’m really grateful for all these opportunities and being at Berkeley. I can’t wait to finish this semester strong and looking forward to summer.

Selma continues to seek higher education in the Bay.
It's been a long journey, but I am finally ready to transfer. I've finished my time at Berkeley City College. While I was there, I worked towards an associates degree in Accounting and another one in Biotechnology. I'll be going to CSU East Bay in the Fall and majoring in Business Administration with a focus in Human Resources.

Carmen is taking her talents to the Big Apple. Read all about it!
I'm very excited for 2016. School has been going well, and I am so lucky to have found close friends at such a large university like Berkeley that I can count on. My sorority sisters are very supportive and I am glad I pledged last year to an organization so highly dedicated to scholarship and philanthropy. I am also grateful to have begun recruiting for summer internships early, because I was notified in October of an offer. I will be at Ford Motor Company's New York office this summer working on the marketing campaign for the new Ford Fusion Hybrid. With my dad a diesel mechanic, I grew up crouched under Class 6 trucks watching him work. My love for automobiles must have shone through in my interview because with any luck, I will have saved enough after my internship with Ford to purchase a gently used version of my dream car: the Ford Mustang. I will continue to help lead the team that manages UC Berkeley's social media next semester, and I cannot wait to continue pursuing my passion for marketing and advertising.
I was happy to help out at the Fluegelman Foundation's 1st Annual Holiday Reggae Fundraising Party in December and I hope there will be many more to come so that deserving students get awarded laptops to pursue their passions as well.

Read about Jasmine's first semester at UC Berkeley. Rough beginning, but finishing strong.
My first semester ended a few weeks ago and the next semester is starting soon. My first semester started a little rough, but I managed to end strong. In the beginning, I didn't really know a lot of people and I had a difficult time adjusting to the academic rigor. However, by the end of the semester, I had a better grasp on everything. Next semester, I'm hoping to become more involved on campus and join a few clubs.
