"ABOUT THIS EVENT
As a new transfer student you are faced with unique opportunities and numerous choices. This reception will present an introduction to academic support programs, and feature transfer-friendly staff and current Cal students to answer questions. Student ambassadors will speak of their own experiences with faculty-mentored undergraduate research programs, educational study abroad, career internships, volunteer community service activities and/or student leadership opportunities. Campus staff will be available from the Financial Aid Office, Career Center, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, College Advising, Residential and Student Service Programs, Academic Achievement Programs and the Transfer, Re-entry, and Student Parent Center.
If you have any additional questions, contact Yanny Chavarria at socaloffice@berkeley.edu, 909-625-7418."
@Guardiangel - Sure! I don't mind if you hitch a ride, but how much luggage are you going to bring? Also, I'm a Spring '09 transfer, so I'll only be moving in earlier if I find an internship or job around the area... Shucks. |
