- ABOUT THE CHARTER GALA 2012 -
The annual Charter Gala is the Cal Alumni Association's signature event celebrating the founding of the University of California in 1868. For most of the past century, the Gala has recognized the contributions of the University and its alumni to the State of California and the global community. The 2012 Charter Gala will be held on March 24th at the historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco.

- ABOUT THE AFTER PARTY -
Whether or not you attend the Charter Gala, you are invited to join the festivities at our "2012 Charter Gala After Party" to celebrate the Cal community and benefit special causes. The walk from the Palace Hotel is only 2 blocks.
Doors open and DJ music lounge starts at 10 p.m. Shortly after 11 p.m., the evening's program begins. Charter Gala Awardees are cordially invited to say a few words of thanks to Cal and to speak about the importance of their Berkeley experience to their lives and their service to Cal and other causes. Related short video may also be shown. Cal alumni comedians will perform, and DJ dancing will continue into the wee hours (2 a.m.).
This year, we have the distinct honor of celebrating our own friend/colleague/classmate MICHAEL LIN (Architecture '01) who is being recognized with the "Bradford S. King Award for Excellence in Service by a Young Alumnus."
