Welcome to the Cal Family!
We are so delighted that you have chosen to join the University of California, Berkeley, community. Soon you will become an important part of a place that is widely respected as one of the best universities in the world.
We are just as excited as you are about this new phase in your life and learning, and hope that you feel welcomed here. We are confident that you will quickly discover Cal's vibrant community and the diverse range of academic, recreational, and other opportunities available to you.
One of our greatest joys is exploring the campus, because it gives us the opportunity to meet Cal's exceptional students and hear about their experiences as undergraduates. We hope you will take the time to share your feedback with us once you have settled into Berkeley.
In celebration of your arrival at Berkeley, we are pleased to invite you to a reception at our home. We look forward to meeting you soon.
