Emeriti Legacy Project

The Legacy Project is coordinated by a subcommittee of the UC Berkeley Emeriti Association Executive Committee (Professors Emeriti/ae Cathy Gallagher, Steve Martin, Sheldon Zedeck, Chair) with administrative and technical support from the UCB Retirement Center.  

The UC Berkeley Emeriti Association’s Legacy Project aims to preserve the recollections and reflections of retired faculty members. 

Videos are produced by the UC Berkeley Emeriti Association, in collaboration with the UC Berkeley Retirement Center and StoryCenter (https://www.storycenter.org/), a Berkeley-based non-profit, and made possible by generous donations by retirees, campus departments and friends.
