Without Stiles, I would not have had the leadership experience and community centered grounding I needed to do the work I do for the ACLU today.
I had never been to Massachusetts let alone any of the universities out there. I went for the first time when we took the Berkeley Scholars on a college tour. And we even got a key to the city of Cambridge!
Stiles had historic roots on the campus long before I took part, but its influence and impact on those it serves and those who served can never be quantified. The work Stiles does is essential to so many communities within Berkeley and in every locality that alumni of Stiles move on to. I can’t imagine Cal being Cal without Stiles Hall.
