Nikkei Stroll through the Generations at UCB
Sunday, September 21 @ 12pm
Join Connecting Across Generations* for an intergenerational stroll through the UC Berkeley campus to learn about Nikkei at UCB history, past to present.
We will walk from the Westgate (by the cherry trees) to Sather Gate to Sproul Plaza to Alumni House to the First Congregational Church, followed by refreshments at the Jodo Shinshu Center with the opportunity to connect across generations! We will hear stories from Nancy (JAWA UCB), Kimi (Friends of Topaz Museum), Peter Horikoshi (East Bay Japanese for Action) and Alec Macdonald (Hapa Issues), Professor Emeritus Evelyn Nakano Glenn, current NSU students, and more!
Bring good walking shoes, a water bottle, and sunscreen/hats. Hope to see you there! Let us know you are coming on this RSVP form!

Accessibility: The walking route will be wheelchair accessible, but it is hilly!
