Peralta International Students

"Thank you for bringing your beauty, your diversity, your culture, and your brilliance. You have made us better. Thank you for making us part of your journey." - A special message from Dr. Denise Richardson, President of Berkeley City College, to our international graduates. ❤️🎓
Our students traveled across oceans, cultures, and borders to pursue their dreams. Along the way, they shared their cultures, perspectives, talents, and friendships—and helped shape the community we cherish today.
"You have made us better" is a simple yet powerful reminder of the impact international students have on our campuses, classrooms, and communities.
To our international graduates: thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. We are proud of all you have accomplished and excited for all that lies ahead.
Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓 www.peralta.edu/international
