  Spring 2018:

  Planning Initiative

  Through a call for action by our college coach, Berkeley Wave Makers came together and began the planning initiative for a “campus meet-up group.” Over 20 CAP students attended the initial planning meeting and discussed the structure and governance for what would later be known as the “Wave Makers of Berkeley.”

  Fall 2018:

  First Campus Meetup

  Our first campus meetup was held at Victory Point Cafe where all CAP students who could make it came to meet other CAP students at UC Berkeley. This was a chance for CAP students to build community and learn more about the Wave Maker of Berkeley. Over 30 Berkeley students joined us and bonded with other CAP students with pizza and board games.

  Spring 2019:

  Independent Branding

  We were able to solidify a brand that symbolizes our mission while reflecting a design that appeals to our audience, CAP students of UC Berkeley, with the help of Innovative Design at Berkeley. This has helped us recruit more students and become more noticeable as a student organization rather than a scholarship program.

  Spring 2020:

  Wave Maker Newsletter

  We developed a monthly newsletter to help CAP students be up to date with any resources or events that can professionally or personally develop students. After many iterations, we were able to find a structure that can present important announcements for CAP students, resources and highlight CAP students and their educational journey.

  Welcoming BA-5 & MWA-17 During COVID-19 - Vitual Engagements

  Due to COVID-19 we were not able to host our yearly Wave Makers of Berkeley summer bridge. We then adjusted our resources to engage virtually which is where we created a three part video that introduces WMB and gives educationally and personal tips and resources on how to successfully navigate the university.
