UC Berkeley’s New Graduate Student Orientation (NGSO) is an additional orientation designed to supplement orientations that are held by your department, school, or program. NGSO takes place in August consisting of a series of virtual workshops, and in-person events. Registration and a 2023 schedule of events is coming soon. We’re partnering with offices and organizations all over campus (for example: the libraries, Basic Needs Center, University Health Services, the Office for Graduate Diversity) to help provide information to ease your transition into graduate school, introduce you to campus services and opportunities to get involved, and help you get connected with graduate student communities. Getting Started at BerkeleyOrientation isn’t until August, but we’ve created a list of a few essential tasks to get you started. When and WhereAugust 2023, more details coming soon.
