Berkeley International Office is excited to welcome you at Spring Orientation! We are planning a full schedule to introduce you to the campus, meet new friends, learn how to be academically successful, and provide opportunities to get your questions answered.

This event will be a hybrid event with all information sessions hosted virtually through Zoom, but with several in-person events where you can meet other international students and start off the semester with new friends and connections (see below). We look forward to seeing you on-campus soon!
