The Graduate Wine Collective is the Cal Alumni Association's very own wine club, featuring wines from wineries founded, operated, or owned by Cal alums. With every sip, taste the fruit of fellow alums’ labor.
Come be a part of this annual tradition at the Alumni House. Meet other Golden Bear vinophiles, and try wines from 30 different wineries, all while supporting programs and services for UC Berkeley alums and students!

Dr. Grace Erny is the kind of scholar who leads a 13-hour public reading of the Odyssey in a single day. She is also the 2026 recipient of the Prytanean Alumnae Faculty Enrichment Award.
Erny, Assistant Professor of Ancient Greek and Roman Studies, joins more than 40 Cal faculty members who have received the honor since 1986, a $35,000 unrestricted grant recognizing outstanding scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and service. She is also Participating Faculty in the Graduate Group in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology and Affiliated Faculty at the Archaeological Research Facility.
The grant will support two major projects: the completion of her first book, on economic inequality and rural communities in first-millennium BCE Crete, and the launch of archaeological excavations at a distinctive cluster of rural settlements in mountainous East Crete. Starting a field excavation is expensive. This award makes it possible.
Beyond her research, Erny has built an outreach program connecting East Bay middle schoolers to ancient history and archaeology, earned near-perfect teaching evaluations, and received the 2026 Faculty Award for Outstanding Mentorship of Graduate Student Instructors. Chancellor Rich Lyons will host a reception in her honor.
Congratulations, Dr. Erny. 🏛️🐻💙💛
Last Friday, the Cal community gathered to celebrate Juneteenth at the Alumni House. The documentary "Epicenter: The Struggle for Black Studies in the Bay Area" was shown, and a panel discussion was led by UC Berkeley African American and Diaspora Studies Professor Ula Taylor with filmmakers Doug Harris and Douglas Harris Jr.
The documentary focuses on the Bay Area and recounts the challenging path it took to establish a Black studies curriculum within our education structure, and illustrates how change can be made if we unite with one another. One Cal alumna Eneni, class of 2025, expressed that "Juneteenth is a celebration of life and a celebration of how far we have come, but it is also a reminder of all the sacrifices that were made to be in this current state." Though Juneteenth has passed, we should all continue to stand up for each other and remember the past to forge a better collective future.
