On April 27th, join featured departments for a LIVE virtual resource fair from 5-7 pm. The resource fair is where you will have the opportunity to learn more and ask questions. You’ll find links and descriptions in your MAP@Berkeley portal where you can hop in and out of sessions with Housing, the Educational Opportunity Program, The Public Service Center, and many more. During the resource fair, we encourage you to ask questions to make sure Berkeley is the right place for you. Our staff members are here to support you and answer any questions you have. Similarly to an in-person resource fair, feel free to jump from room to room, and learn as much as you can to help you choose Berkeley.

Established in Fall 2007, Global Poverty & Practice—one of the largest and most popular minors on the UC Berkeley campus—gives students an opportunity to examine contemporary forms of poverty, wealth, and inequality through academic coursework and practical experience. Central to the minor is a six-week fieldwork opportunity—the Practice Experience—in which students connect theory with action by partnering with nongovernmental or community organizations, government agencies, or other development programs domestically or abroad.
