See How We've Grown!
Golden Bear has changed over the years. So has your alma mater.

We're bigger, better, and "greener" than ever. From Southwood, our newest eco-friendly apartment complex that gives students lessons in living the "green life" to our state-of-the-art facilities, we're continuing to evolve to fill our alumni with Golden Bear Pride.
Join Golden Bear for Homecoming 2009. Reunite with classmates and favorite professors. Put on the old Blue and Gold or watch from the safety of the sidelines at athletic reunions. Dust off your moves for the U&ME Dinner Dance. Pull out the yearbook to reminisce at the Golden Grads Luncheon. Or just bring the kids to watch Golden Bear football and enjoy children's activities.
We're sure "You haven't changed a bit!"
But oh, how we have grown!
