Hard work and perseverance paved the way to success for Yuliana Cevallos

May 13, 2020

“There are no excuses for not achieving what you desire and what you are capable of doing.” This is Yuliana’s philosophy and she has spent her formative years believing in this. Born in Guayaquil, Ecuador 34 years ago, she was sent to a private school so she would have better opportunities. While there was some English, most of the instruction was in Spanish.

It’s Berkeley to the Third Degree for Adam Karriem

May 6, 2020

As the fourteenth of sixteen children in his family, college wasn’t immediately in the plans for Adam Karriem. In fact, he was 32 before he even began and eventually became the first of his siblings to earn a degree. “I was skeptical about returning to school after being out for so long, he remembered. “But I was always good with computers and looked into Berkeley while I was exploring colleges. I visited the New York City campus and immediately felt very comfortable. Everyone was down-to-earth—very friendly and welcoming. They answered all my questions and I loved the fact that the classes were small.”

Berkeley M.B.A. graduate fulfills lifelong dream of teaching

April 29, 2020

When Demetria Foster was a young girl, she would invite her friends in the neighborhood over to play school. They would gather chairs from the all over the house and line them up in neat rows in the front yard. Of course, she would start by taking attendance and handing out little schoolbooks that she made herself. The class would then work from the books on whatever assignment she had decided on for that day. Demetria was four when she started “teaching.” Now, she is living her childhood dream by teaching business courses at Berkeley College.
