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.
