Here are some pictures from our Completion Ceremony back in May!
On Monday, June 20th, the GLOBE Office and UC camp On Monday, June 20th, the GLOBE Office and UC campuses will be closed in observation of Juneteenth. 

Also known as “Emancipation Day,” “Juneteenth Independence Day” or “Freedom Day,” Juneteenth is a federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in Texas on June 19th, 1865, which was two months after the Civil War had ended. Although celebrated throughout the nation for more than a century and a half, Juneteenth was only recently declared a federal holiday as of 2021. Despite Juneteenth falling on a Sunday this year, the UC Berkeley campus and GLOBE office will be closed.
PART 2 Aimed at students who have limited to no in PART 2
Aimed at students who have limited to no international exposure or experience, the GLOBE Ambassadors program is an opt-in, non-credit educational program for UC Berkeley Engineering students. This year’s program concentrated on industries based in Seattle and Vancouver and also included a project working with Taiwanese start-ups. As part of the GLOBE Ambassadors Program, they all were able to experience a 6 day trip to Seattle and Vancouver, where they met with industry experts and develop their entrepreneurial backgrounds. Special thanks to all of the institutions that welcomed us: Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, LUBN, Boeing, UW CoMotion and Creative Destruction Labs, Microsoft, MITAC, Taiwan Commerce Chamber Vancouver, UBC HATCH, and the Berkeley Alumni Club Canada. 

Please enjoy some pictures of our time in Seattle and Vancouver!
