So now that your fall semester classes are in full swing and midterms are constantly looming in the air, it is often difficult to see the bigger picture outside of schoolwork. However, college is a chance for you to grow as a student and as an individual, and an opportunity to explore future endeavors. With so many resources available to the students, Cal is a perfect place to discover what your true calling is.
The Cal Corps Public Service Center, located in Eschleman Hall, is a great starting point to find ways to get involved in the community. If you are interested in enhancing your leadership skills, volunteering, interning with various agencies, or working for social action, you may want to look into the programs offered at Cal Corps. These include Alternative Breaks, BUILD, Bonner Leaders, Cal in Berkeley, Cal in the Capital, Coaching Corps, Destination: College, GAIN, and Greening Berkeley, among others. For more information and to learn about other ways to get involved, go to: http://students.berkeley.edu/osl/calcorps.asp
The Cal Career Center is another fantastic resource for learning about your options after graduating from Cal. It is located at 2111 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA. There you will find information about graduate schools and professional schools as well as different career paths. You can schedule career counseling appointments, where you can have a career counselor look over your resume and give you suggestions for success in applying and interviewing. You can also take a diagnostic personality test that can help guide you to your most suitable career path.
The Career Center hosts numerous career, graduate and professional school, study abroad, internship, and research/fellowship fairs throughout the year. Make sure to check the Career Center website on a regular basis to stay updated. The website is: http://career.berkeley.edu/
Remember to stay open-minded and have fun exploring!
Cheers from your peers!
