Be a CalSO Counselor! – Applications Due 10/5
Since the 1960’s, the Cal Student Orientation (CalSO) Program has introduced new undergraduates and their families to the educational and extracurricular opportunities at Berkeley. The key to our success is the group of continuing Cal students who help implement and facilitate our programs. After all, who knows the new student experience better than those who have already been through it?

What's in it for you?
You will gain valuable experience and skills in public speaking, group facilitation, counseling, problem solving, and public relations, which will put you in good stead for any future career. You'll be able to reach out to new students and their families to bolster their confidence and help them take that first big step to Berkeley while performing a critical service for the University. You'll have opportunities to form long-lasting friendships with a diverse and close-knit group of students. And, you'll learn a lot about yourself.

To download the application, or for information about the selection process, compensation, and much, much more, visit the CalSO website: http://nss.berkeley.edu/CR/cr.html

The Law Fellows Program provides early academic development to high-potential undergraduate students and college graduates. To be eligible to participate, applicants must have at least a 3.3 cumulative undergraduate GPA from a four-year institution. The program focuses on participants’ academic development, with the objective of increasing their academic competitiveness for admission to law school.

Law Fellows attend a series of Saturday Academies held at UCLA School of Law in the winter and spring, where they are provided with mentoring, academic enrichment, and career development activities designed to de-mystify law school and the legal profession, and to present these objectives as viable options. The program prepares participants to successfully enter and succeed in top law programs and legal careers by affording Fellows access to a variety of events, programs and services.
