Residing in South Berkeley with her family, Mayor Ishii is dedicated to building a more inclusive and thriving Berkeley.
Richard K. Lyons | UC Berkeley Chancellor
Chancellor Richard K. Lyons, a proud UC Berkeley alum, became the university’s first undergraduate alumnus to serve as chancellor since 1930. Before stepping into the role in 2024, he spent a decade as dean of Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and later led campus innovation and entrepreneurship efforts. Passionate about fostering creativity and collaboration, Chancellor Lyons is dedicated to strengthening Berkeley’s role as a hub for world-changing ideas and community impact.
