You are the best, Shareef.
Great to welcome @ucberkely Chancellor @richlyons to the NBA office during his visit to New York. Chancellor Lyons is leading Berkely through a transformative period in higher education while preparing the next generation of leaders to succeed on campus and beyond. Go Bears!

I could make lots of jokes about this, but in reality, I think this is really cool. @GoStanford @StanfordFball take notes.
Sources: Cal football has created a new section in the south end zone of its stadium for The Black Hole, the famed Raiders cheering section. They are calling it The Black Bear. They will welcome the group starting this weekend for the Texas Southern game.

On behalf of the UC Berkeley community, I want to congratulate and welcome James Milliken to the University of California family. James clearly has a wealth of valuable experience and expertise which will serve us well during a time of challenge and change. I look forward to close partnership and collaboration with our new president.
The UC Board of Regents has approved James B. Milliken as the 22nd president of the University of California system. A proven higher ed leader and chancellor of the @utsystem, Milliken brings a deep commitment to values that make UC a model for the nation. bit.ly/44hV1CJ

A few months back I posted a pic of Berkeley’s University House backyard. Here’s how it looked yesterday. Jen and I are grateful.

Superstar leadership. Thanks Rep. Simon. I look forward to working together.
Proud to be able to see my friend @richlyons, the @UCBerkeley Chancellor today. Last week, I toured campus and got to see firsthand the lifesaving work labs are doing with NIH funds. I told him we're going to fight to protect all UC researchers and labs from any cuts. Go Bears!

Overheard today: “Onboarding a university President who is new to the institution is like training a dog with an invisible fence.”
