Introducing Sather, our new virtual engagement officer
Named for UC Berkeley’s iconic Sather Gate — the historic threshold students pass through to begin their transformational journey on campus — Sather serves as a new digital gateway to reconnect you with Cal. More than just a notification system, Sather is an interactive, AI-powered assistant built for two-way conversation.
“At UC Berkeley, innovation has always been about amplifying our human impact. Partnering with Version2 and Givzey to launch Sather, our virtual engagement officer, allows us to build personalized connections across our global community. If you hear from Sather, you can be confident that it’s an official way for Berkeley to bring you closer to the causes and ideas on campus you care about most.”
Who is behind Sather? We are. A human employee reviews every query and advises the agent on responses.
Whether you want to ask questions about campus life, explore new research, or share the specific causes you’re passionate about, Sather is here to connect our global community with the heart of campus. Sather is your direct link to the groundbreaking work, ideas, and causes closest to your own heart.
