Students gain more from their undergraduate experience when they feel a sense of belonging. Berkeley Connect, with the motto “You belong here,” is now in its 11th year of offering a signature small-group mentoring model — proven to boost students’ confidence and connection to campus. Berkeley Connect matches undergraduates with graduate student mentors and places them in small groups with other students who share their interests. This provides them with both personalized attention and a community of like-minded peers, making our big university feel a little smaller.

Berkeley Connect is open to all students. Your gift will help expand capacity so all new students can participate in their first year.
