The Cal Parents Program provides outreach and support to families of current and prospective students. Through campus and regional events, telephone and e-mail helplines, newsletters, a web site, and this handbook, Cal Parents provides a vital link between home and campus. Especially useful is the Cal Parents web site at calparents.berkeley.edu, your gateway to comprehensive information.

The program offers opportunities for you to enhance your involvement with your son’s or daughter’s educational experience at Cal and to act as advocates for the university by supporting its mission. We welcome your participation in the Cal community.
