On behalf of all of the staff in Residential Life, welcome to UC Berkeley. We are excited that you will be part of our residential community. We are here to support your transition and help you maximize your residential experience here at Cal– which is especially important during these unprecedented times.
Our mission is to facilitate your transitions into the intellectual and social communities of the University of California, Berkeley, and to promote your personal well-being as well as respect for the needs of the entire residential community.
It is more vital than ever that every single member in our residential spaces collectively engage and contribute to building a community that demonstrates a commitment to following public health guidelines and campus expectations to combat the spread of COVID-19. Our dedicated and caring ResLife professional staff will help lead their respective residential communities and support you in your academic endeavors.
Best of luck and Go BEARS!
