This isn't specific to CNR, but it's important nontheless (from http://warnme.berkeley.edu/):
WarnMe is UC Berkeley's alerting and warning service for students, staff, and faculty. It is activated to contact you when there is an immediate threat to safety or health affecting the campus community. WarnMe can alert you by phone, text message, or email — you choose the best ways to reach you.
Be safe out there.
This isn't strictly CNR related, but everyone should know that the Career Center has moved some of its services to Callisto, the new portal to their on-line services.
Go to callisto.berkeley.edu to check it out.
Most importantly, in order to keep receiving the CareerMail newsletters (which we highly recommend) you must resubscribe through Callisto. Your CalJobs stuff should transfer over fine, but remember to re-subscribe to your newsletters.
