Laurie Wu McClain

Bio/CV: 

I grew up in a family in San Francisco's Chinatown that devoted time and effort to community service organizations.  I continued with that focus when I attended Cal Berkeley.  I chaired a Voter Registration Drive and a program which brought together Oakland middle-school pupils with Cal students. I volunteered several years at the School for the Blind. Later on, both as an instructor at a Community College, and then as an attorney, I worked with low-income persons and nonprofit organizations. I have served as the President of a University Support Group which gives emergency grants to Cal students, and am currently a Trustee of the University of California Foundation.
