In order to keep the Cal community safe in these changing and uncertain times, we have changed this event to a VIRTUAL one.
The Cal Alumni Association (CAA), the UC Berkeley Career Center, and New Student Services are pleased to announce the return of our virtual alumni mixer for incoming transfer students during Golden Bear Orientation. Help us provide incoming transfer students with their first opportunity to network with alumni and explore various career paths through exposure to a variety of industries and expertise.
This event requires very little preparation. Alumni volunteers will be organized into networking groups based on their industry expertise. You will simply chat with interested students, share your path from Cal to career, and offer advice to those who hope to follow in your footsteps.
