"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
Fastest Growing Minor at Cal
Engineering and History are still popular majors at UC Berkeley, but they aren't growing nearly as fast as a minor that has only been in existence for two years. In 2009, "Global Poverty and Practice" was the fastest growing minor on campus! The courses in the minor help provide students with the knowledge and experiences necessary to combat global poverty. Some students design affordable water filters to be used in the slums of India, others advocate for squatters threatened with eviction in Kenya, some promote gender-equity laws in Sierra Leone or establish community-owned clinics in Jordan. Collectively, these young students all trying to change the world for the better!
