Welcome to the University Section Club, a nonprofit organization that is a part of the U.C. Berkeley Chancellor’s Office.

 

The University Section Club, founded in 1927, is celebrating its 98th year. The club provides emergency funding for students who are dealing with a crisis when they are close to graduating. Over the years, the club has provided over $1 million to students in need. Without paid staff or a building to fund, the streamlined club-which averages close to 300 members-depends on many people working a little bit to make it a huge success.

 

In addition to the club’s philanthropies, there are 21 Activity Sections that provide a variety of fun and intellectually stimulating get-togethers. Please click on the Sections and History tabs above to see the variety of offerings as well as our story. We hope you will gain an understanding of why this extraordinary club has captured the hearts of thousands of members over the decades.
