Congratulations to our graduates, their families and friends, and to our dedicated faculty and staff, who have all contributed to making this commencement ceremony a reality. As part of their educational journey at Berkeley City Col-lege, our graduates now have the skills to build trust, extend a helping hand and create bridges across cultures. They will bring significant and positive changes to our society. They can use

what they have learned to build and strengthen community for others and inspire those who have yet to travel the path they now leave behind.

Graduates, celebrate your achievements. You have remained on your journey’s course and have reached your educational goals at Berkeley City College. You recognize that education provides a way to propel you toward new opportunities. Our faculty, our staff, and your classmates, have motivated and inspired you. As a result, Berkeley City College has transformed your lives. As you leave our college community, remember that continuous self-improvement, risk taking, creativity, and striving for excellence are not skills that you develop but attitudes that you embrace. Education is an equalizer that will help open many doors.

We are thrilled that more than 360 graduates will be receiving over 620 degrees and certificates this year. We look forward to seeing our new alumni create a better world through continued education and service. We celebrate our graduates’ life-transforming experiences as new Berkeley City College alumni who will go forward to enrich the lives of their families, their communities and their world.

Sincerely,

Dr. Deborah Budd, President

Introducing Ms. Jessica Steel, Keynote Speaker

Jessica Steel is President of UrbanSitter, an online service that helps parents find and book babysitters recommended by people they know. Founded in 2011, UrbanSitter marries a parent’s traditional referral networks – their friends and parenting circles - with the technological ease of real-time availability search, booking, and payment to help them find and book babysitters. Having first discovered the service as a parent in 2011, Ms. Steel joined the management team and corporate board of UrbanSitter in 2013 to

help scale the business. Prior to joining UrbanSitter, Ms. Steel spent eight years at Pandora Internet radio, as Executive Vice President of Business and Corporate Development, where she led the company’s business development efforts from inception through the 2011 IPO and beyond. While at Pandora, Ms. Steel also became the founder and executive sponsor of the company’s popular Women In Business group, which serves to connect, mentor, and inspire Pandora’s current and future female leaders. Prior to joining Pandora, Ms. Steel spent 4-1/2 years leading international business development for Overture Services Inc., the company that pioneered paid search and was acquired by Yahoo! for $1.6 billion in 2003. She began her business career as a Project Manager in Fannie Mae’s International Housing Finance Services division. Ms. Steel received a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and a recipient of the Thouron Scholarship. While at Penn, Ms. Steel learned to speak Japanese and spent a year in Tokyo improving her fluency, which would prove to be a defining business asset throughout her career. She later attended the LA Music Academy for vocal performance and has released three albums as a singer-songwriter, performing under the name Jessica Stone (www.jessicastone.com). In 2011 and 2012, Ms. Steel was named one of the Most Influential Women in Bay Area Business by the San Francisco Business Times. She was added to their Forever Influential list in 2013. She was also honored by Billboard magazine with the 2011 Women In Music Award. Outside of work, Ms. Steel enjoys being with her four-year-old son, playing tennis with her husband, and pursuing her music interests. She writes the occasional blog post at medium.com/@jessicadsteel.

Introducing Mr. Mirko Ranieri, RecipientBerkeley City College President’s Award

Mirko Ranieri, Berkeley City College President’s Award recipient, will graduate from in May with a business administration degree. While at BCC, Mr. Ranieri turned his many economic challenges into a series of academic and career-building opportuni-ties. The 22-year-old international student, whose second language is English, was born and raised in Italy. He was one of a select few of community college transfer finalists from around the nation who were accepted to Harvard University in the fall. He also was accepted to UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. Mr. Ranieri’s unique background had him pre-

paring for a professional soccer career in Italy at age 16 when he was recruited by Tottenham Hotspur, an English Premier League soccer club, to train as a goal keeper. Shortly thereafter, an accident halted his soccer career forever: He collided with a player on an opposing team and broke the ligaments in his knee. “The dream that took me out of my Italian home was shattered,” he re-called. “After extensive research, I learned that the Peralta colleges, surrounded by the Bay Area’s spirit of innovation, provided exactly what I was looking for.”

Introducing Ms. Rita Phang, SalutatorianRita Phang will graduate from Berkeley City College with an associate in arts degree with an emphasis in social and behavioral sciences. She enters UC Berke-ley this fall and will major in economics. “What I really liked about the college was that students were involved and it felt like a communi-ty,” she said. “It was challenging but everyone, faculty and students, were willing help each other.” Ms. Phang believes that education is im-portant because it expands a person’s thinking skills, literacy levels, and develops an understanding about the value of our society and how it works. Future plans include earning a master’s degree in business administration with a focus on financial analysis. Ms. Phang is vice president of the Albany-El Cerrito Kiwanis Club and tutors at a nonprofit apartment complex in Berkeley. She advises students to do their best and always ask questions. “Everyone is in school to learn and they should participate in academic and extracurricular activities,” she said. “Berkeley City College provides a great environment for learning.”

Introducing Mr. Valentino Calderon, Valedictorian and Recipient, Berkeley City College President’s Medallion

Valentino Calderon, outgoing president of the As-sociated Students of Berkeley City College (ASBCC) and BCC President’s Medallion award recipient, plans to transfer to UC Berkeley’s College of Engi-neering. Fascinated by the potential of integrating brain-computer interfaces to help people overcome cognitive disabilities, his major will be Electrical En-gineering and Computer Science. While at Berkeley City College, Mr. Calderon

has maintained a 4.0 GPA and was concurrently enrolled in classes at Cal while attending BCC. Achieving college success was not without obstacles. While a sophomore in high school, Mr. Calderon suffered a brain injury that affected his cognitive abilities. “Academics, something that once came so easily, became an everyday challenge,” he recalled. “But my cognitive disabilities served as my motivation for excelling in college.”
