About Us
The Berkeley City College Phi Beta Lambda chapter was founded in the Fall of 2020 with the goal of establishing a legacy for BCC business students. In the midst of the pandemic, the founding class accepted the challenges in front of them and worked tirelessly to become BCC’s most active and innovative business club. By the end of the school year, PBL’s efforts and reputation caused its membership to double, allowing our legacy to continue to grow. Today, BCC-PBL continues to redefine what a business club should be and welcomes anyone, regardless of major, that’s willing to push themselves to be their best.
