Fall 2007

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. We 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 and meeting Cal’s exceptional students. We always ask what they think about their undergraduate experience, and we encourage you to share your feedback with us when you have settled into Berkeley.

Please join us for a reception at our home to celebrate your arrival. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Warmly,

Chancellor Robert and Mary Catherine Birgeneau
