What is GBO? On this week’s Not So Secret Guide to Being an Engineer podcast we invited Micki Antovich from New Student Services to give us an overview of what to expect, who you will be working with and why we think GBO is one of the best ways to start your time, not only at UC Berkeley, but as a Berkeley Engineer.

GBO is a mandatory, weeklong program (August 20-27) for new undergraduates that helps you:

  • make connections to your peers, faculty, and staff
  • learn more about available resources and experience campus traditions
  • broaden your understanding of this diverse and dynamic community
  • create a sense of community with your orientation group and trained Golden Bear Orientation Leaders

Beginning next week all incoming freshmen and transfer students will be registering for up to 17.5 units in preparation for Fall 2019. Almost everyone has gone through Golden Bear Advising and has heard back from their ESS adviser, if you haven't, you probably have a hold on your registration and need to complete GBA before the hold will be released. Now is the time to double check your registration appointment on CalCentral, make sure your shopping cart is full and next week - you'll register. We are excited to have two Engineering Student Services Advisers, Olivia Chan and Dawn Strough, on the podcast to give some last minute tips and policies to keep in mind, that will help make your registration process easier and get you the best schedule for your first semester.
