Hiedi director of student services for senator teran

I am here I need help in promoting a app called icomunifi the app founder is open to icomunifi and want to work with other students with this app. And hope to promote your events on this platform. I think is a great app for students to show up to event more. So I am really excited and would love you help!

Vicent third year undergrad incoming director of medical reserve core. Registered student organization to get help from asuc to get support. Students become certified in EMT coverage. We were able to construct a program for $45 per student which is 50% of the bay area average. We hope the asuc will increase are visibility for our programs. And we also provide free coverage for the events like cal day. And we think the asuc can be well positioned to prompt our student organization.

Karuna Junior

I had a question for berkeley medical reserve corps? How can we get in contact with you

Maya Jewish Student at UC Berkeley, company wide diversity for weapons technology I am here to promote this resolution and push for divestment. These investments are responsible for the death of Palestinians.

Jaden

I am a jewish student at UCB and would like to talk about the same resolution. I am in support of this resolution that is being voted on today. I urge you to vote yes to this resolution.

Student representing palestine resolution

The student body has been debating divestment for years, and it is shameful as the divestment is long overdue. Divesting would mean taking a stance.

Essie

Jewish student at berkeley, I am talking in support of this resolution. Berkely is activley investing in companies enabling genocide, and these investments do not represent us. This resolution is not radical but gives us a chance to speak. This is how this resolution can begin to make berkeley promises a reality.
