Gold Circle Society – Berkeley Fund Annual Giving SocietyThe Gold Circle Society is a distinction honoring current and retired Berkeley faculty and staff members who have made a long-term commitment to Berkeley through their service and philanthropy. Recognition in the Gold Circle Society is extended to current and retired faculty and staff who have given to the Berkeley Fund for at least 10 years consecutively or 15 years cumulatively and who give in the current year. The investment of time, service, and financial support from Berkeley’s own is inspiring for students, parents, and alumni.
