On April 18, 2009, UC Berkeley welcomed admitted students and their families to the campus to learn about departments, majors, and extracurricular activities available to students. CalDay is a chance for students to collect the information they need to make the right choice of college for them.

IASTP offered a table for passersby to stop, greet staff, peer advisors, and students from a variety of our majors. Interested students and families were encouraged to have their questions answered, as well as to contact the program in the near future were more questions to arise. Fliers and other promotional materials were made available, as well as textbooks from IASTP courses for students to browse.

In addition, about 150 people attended our Going Global: International Opportunities for Cal Students panel where five IASTP graduating seniors discussed their experiences in their majors, the Global Poverty and Practice Minor, and study abroad. The audience was eager with a variety of questions and the students were excited to share anecdotes from their time at Cal. Discussions continued to flow after the panel had ended as a few of our current and prospective students decided to continue the discussion about college choice over coffee on Telegraph Avenue.
