UC Berkeley staff are invited to get an inside look at the work of UC Berkeley’s International Admissions Team, from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. We'll share updates on international student enrollment, new efforts to increase geographic diversity, and how different campus departments can pitch in to support our goals. Learn about the unique challenges we face, the data behind our decisions, and the role of the campus community in our process. This is a great chance to understand how international admissions shapes Berkeley's diverse community and the important work we're doing to support it.
