Monique is also a frequent donor to Berkeley Law, knowing firsthand how her law school alma mater strives to create a more just and equitable world as well as the importance of providing resources to the school’s students who need it most.

“I was fortunate to receive scholarships, grants, and other aid when I attended law school,” Monique recalls. “My ability to be able to give directly relates to the caliber of education I received. I want to help future students like me have access to the same or better legal education that I was fortunate to benefit from.”

Berkeley Law and the university in general continue to resonate for Monique, specifically because of the many ways that programs, student groups, and financial aid offerings aim to improve society while also lending a hand to Cal’s brightest, most deserving minds.

“If you’re looking to make a gift that will have immediate, lasting impact, Cal should be on your shortlist as an engaged, socially responsible institution,” she says. “It’s truly a public school with a public mission.”
