What does thriving during your first semester look like for you? In this session you will hear from Faculty, Cal undergrads, and L&S College Advisers who will share their personal journeys and discuss academic strategies for thriving at Cal, especially in your first semester.

Thinking about continuing your education beyond your B.A.? Learn how to incorporate planning for medical school, health professions programs, law school, or graduate school into your time at Cal. This session will include information about requirements, campus resources, and also leave time for your questions!

Learn about double majors and minors: including evaluating whether to pursue one, understanding whether they impact career opportunities, and getting tips on program planning.

Students thrive at Cal and beyond when they develop their passions through hands-on opportunities beyond the classroom. In this 60 minute tour, you will engage in a conversation on how you can take advantage of the wide range of opportunities on campus for research, public service, entrepreneurship, creative projects, and more! Capacity is limited to 50 students. Register here to claim your spot. Meet in front of the Campanile at 1:30pm. Sponsored by the Discovery Hub, Cal's undergraduate hub for experiential education opportunities

Hear from a diverse panel of Cal professionals who share many of the same identities as our students on campus (first-generation students, transfer students, Black students, Latinx students, AAPI students, LGBTQ+ students) on addressing imposter syndrome, navigating life transitions through self advocacy, and finding belonging as an underrepresented student.

Curious about Berkeley culture? Nervous about "adulting" for the first time? A panel of Peer Advisers share their personal and professional insights about the first year experience.

This session provides advice and resources for transitioning into Cal as a transfer student. There will also be the opportunity for Q&A with L&S College Advisers who are passionate about the transfer experience.
