EECS students, faculty, and staff host a variety of events on Cal Day to introduce newly admitted students and their families to our community. Cal Day 2022 will be dedicated to registered, newly admitted students and their families only.
This year will be a hybrid exprience, with virtual events happening during the week of 4/23-29, and an in-person on-campus event for newly admitted students and their families on Saturday, 4/23.
Check the Berkeley Admitted Students website and your My Application Portal (MAP@Berkeley) for updates and information on how to register for Cal Day events. For any further questions about registration, please check any communications from the Office of Admissions and contact them directly.
Table locations can be found on the Guide Book Application.
10:00 am - 11:00 am
Learn more about CS Kickstart! CS KickStart is a one week introductory class in computer science designed for incoming freshman women at UC Berkeley. Participants learn how to program, learn about the different areas of computer science, and meet other computer science students.
11:00 am - noon
Come get hands on with IEEE! We are the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) p;at U.C. Berkeley. As an active organization on campus, we provide lab services, promote student professional awareness, participate in outreach programs, and serve as the backbone for student-industry networking in EECS. In addition to hosting industry events such as infosessions and the semi-annual Startup Fair, we plan social activities to maintain balance with the technical atmosphere.During our session you'll learn more about our group and have some fun activities to get more insight into our group.
Noon - 1 pm
At this event, students in upper division computer science courses will share their experiences and demo their projects. We will give an overview of areas of study and their respective courses in computer science. We welcome all students interested in computer science to listen and ask questions to members of Upsilon Pi Epsilon computing honor society.
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Come meet us! The Association of Women in EECS (AWE) is a supportive community at UC Berkeley that seeks to empower women and non-binary identifying students pursuing Computer Science and/or Electrical Engineering. AWE provides exposure to industry and research opportunities, as well as space to connect with each other, by hosting various academic, social, and professional events throughout the academic year.
