Underground Scholars History
Underground Scholars Initiative (USI) was first established as a student-led organization at UC Berkeley in Spring 2013. The Underground Scholars Initiative soon expanded to other UC campuses.
UC Berkeley Underground Scholars organized a UC wide meeting in September 2019 with formerly incarcerated and system impacted scholars. The goal of this meeting was to expand USI across the UC system. As of Fall 2021, all nine UC’s will have established an Underground Scholars Initiative ontheir campus
