We participated in the I-House Resource Fair on 8/19 at 2-4pm to meet and welcome the new batch of Berkeley international graduate students. There were a number of tables there to provide services and information to the students. I appreciate this annual Resource Fair hosted by the International House because it provides a one-stop shop for all the international students to know what kind of resources are around them. We set up our welcome table with our new banner and picture boards at this event, too. We also showcased our new torpedo pens that have our new group name “IGSM” and domain name “www.igsmonline.org” on them.
As you can see from the picture on the left, a lot of students came to this event and looked for information that could help them settle on this campus. We gave them our English Class and Graduate Student Welcome Nights flyers. Many students took interests in the English class. Our English Class instructor, Carolyn, was right there to meet the new students and answered their questions. Many of the IGSM students also helped out with tabling and flyering at this event, meeting new students and sharing their experience at Cal.
If you are a new graduate students and would like to receive help with settling in on this campus, please feel free to contact us.
