The Holloway Series has established a tradition of poetry on campus to celebrate the works of renowned and rising contemporary poets, and provides an opportunity for poets from the UC Berkeley campus community to read alongside a featured poet.

The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is Berkeley’s interdisciplinary hub for learning and making at the intersection of design and technology. The institute offers courses, extracurricular programs, makerspaces and labs, and more.

The Lunch Poems series is under the direction of Professor Robert Hass. Support for this series is provided by Dr. and Mrs. Tom Colby, the Library, The Morrison Library Fund, the dean's office of the College of Letters and Sciences, the English Department, and the Townsend Center for the Humanities. These events are also partially supported by Poets & Writers, Inc. through a grant it has received from The James Irvine Foundation.

Poetry for the People (P4P) at UC Berkeley is an arts/activism program, founded by the late June Jordan in 1991. P4P continues to pursue Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a beloved community for all. P4P has an academic focus on the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry, and the program also engages in bridging the gap between the university and the larger community, working with teens and young adults, schools, and community organizations, and activist projects in the greater Bay Area.

Founded in the 1930s, the PMC is home to UC Berkeley's 100+ publications and media student organizations. The Publications and Media Center's mission is to develop and connect the graduate and undergraduate student media community by offering support and resources to student media organizations registered with UC Berkeley.

The Townsend Center for the Humanities fosters innovative work in the arts, humanities, and interpretive social sciences. The Center sponsors rich public programming, offers fellowship and grant support, and leads interdisciplinary academic initiatives.
