I School Orientation for New Ph.D. Students

Monday, August 18, 2025 - Tuesday, August 19, 2025

Orientation is required for all incoming Ph.D. students. The exact time is subject to change.

This two-day event will be a great overall introduction to the School of Information, the Ph.D. program and life at UC Berkeley. We’ll cover topics such as community, degree structure, career services, and student life.

It will also be your first opportunity to meet and get to know your fellow Ph.D. students, faculty, and staff. We’ll reach out as we get closer to the time of orientation with further details.

Dress code for both days is smart casual

Before the orientation, please upload your profile photo to the I School Student Directory.
