UC Berkeley is broadly recognized for its distinctive culture and values. How we view ourselves and how others view us shape the impact we have on our immediate communities and around the world. The Haas School of Business holds its own robust culture. In recent years the cultural force behind all initiatives has been the school’s Defining Principles: Question the Status Quo, Confidence without Attitude, Students Always, Beyond Yourself. From admissions to alumni relations, the principles guide and define the Berkeley-Haas community in all its endeavors. Dean Rich Lyons leads an alumni panel in a discussion on the invaluable space that culture occupies in an organization and community.
