How to add something to the ESPM Departmental Calendar

The ESPM departmental calendar (displayed here) is run through the UC Berkeley Calendar Network. This means that to add something to the calendar you must login with your CalNet ID to the events.berkeley.edu website (direct link to the submission form). 

You can also add event to the grad-student-run coordinator calendar

The event calendar that presented on the homepage of this site is maintained by Kelly Kinder (kredfearnk@berkeley.edu). You can also often organize events, you can request for editing privilege. Everyone with a berkeley email can add the calendar to their own by clicking HERE. All events posted on the calendar will be automatically synced to people's calendar. 

Getting money from the Graduate Assembly (GA)

This section was written by Jenny Palomino.  This was written for the GDC but applies to all student organizations.

__________________________________________________

1. One GDC rep has to complete the GA funding training and quiz:

• • The training is online at https://ga.berkeley.edu/funding/workshops -  it is a pdf file that you review on your own

  • The quiz is online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/gaonlinefundingworkshop

  • Print out the GA funding workshop waiver form at https://ga.berkeley.edu/funding/workshops and submit with your funding application

  • And sorry!  I thought I saved my answers, but it seems that I deleted the file somehow!

2. Use the funding training pdf to figure out which funds you want to apply to; you may need to submit two applications. One for grants for the CSU visits, and one for the GMER ("Graduate Meetings and Events") for GDC meetings this semester.  The grants don't cover food but will cover travel, materials, etc.  The GMER pretty much is for club meetings.

3.  Fill out the GA funding application including the following info:

• 1. Total Number of Group Members (and number that are grad students)

  2. Proof of group registration with GA and signatory list (from http://campuslife.berkeley.edu/orgs/manage - choose "Print Your Organization's Confirmation of Registration Form")

  3. GA funding workshop waiver form mentioned above

  4. For events: Total Number of Expected Attendees (and number that are grad students)

  5. For events: Event Title, Description, Location, and Date

  6. For events: Event Itemized Budget (supposedly you are supposed to request $7 per grad student and $1 per non-grad, but most GA reps say to apply for the full GMER amount or "expect" a high number for the events)

  7. For contingency funds: One page justification/description of the event(s)

  8. For grants: an explanation of how the project promotes diversity and how we intend to promote the project
