Transfer Weekend

What is Transfer Weekend? 

Transfer Weekend is a 3-day, 2-night, all-expense paid trip to UC Berkeley for admitted transfer students. The goal of this program is to help first-generation, low-income, students of color make an informed decision about where to continue their higher education. We aim to do this by offering college resources, multicultural programs, workshops, and social events that will give students the opportunity to engage and interact with current UC Berkeley undergraduates and prospective students.

We hope to give the students that visit us a glimpse into the Latine perspective at Cal to bridge that transition from a community college or other home colleges to a 4-year institution like Cal. Hopefully, we will see you here in the Fall!
