Peter studied political science at UC Berkeley and now works as an attorney in New York City. 

“Financial aid paid for almost all of my four years at Cal, giving me opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.”

Though he now lives on the East Coast, Peter remains connected to UC Berkeley and his California roots, primarily through his consistent giving. He’s even set up a Cal scholarship for graduates of public high schools in Los Angeles County who are the first in their families to attend a UC school. Peter was also the first in his family to attend a UC college.

On a recent visit, Peter walked around campus and recalled the possibilities it held for him when he was younger. He encourages other alums to do so as well. 

“Think about how your time at Cal helped you learn, grow, and succeed in a changing world. Consider helping others to do the same.”
