UC Berkeley incoming freshman attended a presentation addressing important issues faced by college students: sexual assault and harassment, mental health, and alcohol use.
David Suratt, Berkeley's associate dean of students, welcomed students with a challenge and an invitation: to become active participants in managing the dangers of sexual violence and harassment, mental-health problems and alcohol abuse, to take responsibility for their own well-being and that of the larger campus community.

CS 61A The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Instructor Brian Harvey
Spring 2008
Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language.
