Our Advising Mission Statement
The Berkeley Social Welfare Student Services Team provides strength-based advising in partnership with the student in a way that supports learning, exploration and personal development. Whether you are an incoming freshman, transfer student, graduate student, or prospective applicant, we offer a personalized and holistic approach to educational planning that encourages exploration, dispels myths and rumors, and promotes progress towards degree attainment. We strive to create an inclusive, student-centered and culturally sensitive environment that promotes social justice and equity.
We can help you:
- Understand policies and procedures maintained by the School, College of Letters & Science, Graduate Division, and other campus units.
- Connect to campus resources and enrichment opportunities that broaden awareness and increase experiential learning.
- Find or create opportunities for community with your student peers, staff, and faculty.
- Problem-solve for barriers that you may be facing that are hindering academic success and/or personal growth.
- Develop short-term and long-term professional and educational goals through one-on-one and group advising opportunities.
