The Access, Belonging & Community (ABC) Office invites Doerr School students, postdocs, faculty, and staff to join our 4th annual community celebration on Wednesday, May 27 from 4:00-6:30PM. This year's theme is “Rooted in Community" to honor the different partners, collaborators, and community members who contribute to the Doerr School's commitment to creating access and belonging.

Enjoy light appetizers, music (with a DJ), photobooth, and mocktails. We’ll have community-building activities, including a flower bouquet making station, and an opportunity to learn about Doerr School student organizations. We will also recognize this year’s Excellence in Community Award recipient(s).

Across the Doerr School, our work is rooted in expanding access to sustainability and cultivating a community where multiple perspectives and experiences can thrive. This gathering reflects our shared commitment to belonging, mentorship, learning, and collective responsibility.

We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate and continue building a community where all can belong and succeed.
