We’ve got wheels!

Our after-school Robotics Club took their new buddy for its first-ever test drive today—there’s a long way to go until the final project, but from what we can tell they’re rocking and rolling! 🤖

🚔🚨 Free speech flashback! 🚨🗣️

#OTD in 1964 — 60 years ago — the Free Speech Movement began.

The passion, persistence, and power of Cal students revolutionized activism on campus.

Today, the Library is keeping the memory of the movement alive.
