Summer Sessions 2021 Visiting Student Workshops Thank you for enrolling in UC Berkeley Summer Sessions, we are excited to have you! Apart from all the exciting things you’ll learn from your summer classes we want to invite you to take advantage of a few workshops we are offering to all Summer Sessions students for Summer 2021. These workshops are designed to help you navigate resources on campus, give you insights on how to best adapt in the online/remote mode of instructions, as well as enhance your self awareness that you can apply as you pursue future opportunities. The presentation will be hosted by Summer Sessions Advisors who may invite guest speakers from campus partners. The workshops are set to run between 60-90 minutes that will include a Q & A portion at the end of each workshop. Students are encouraged to register for as many workshops as they are able to, but should register for only one date per workshop theme. You will have the ability to rescheule your participation after registration as needed. A link to the zoom webinar will be emailed to you 2 hours prior to the workshop start time. If you require an accommodation for effective communication (ASL interpreting/CART captioning, alternative media formats, etc.) to fully participate in this event, please contact Michelle Dylla at summer@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7-10 days in advance of the event. All sessions are listed in Pacific Daylight Time.
