From the Associate Vice Chancellor for Health and Human Services

We know that when your child is away from home, especially for the first time, his or her health and safety are foremost in your mind. Parents can rest assured that the UC Berkeley campus is dedicated to these all-important aspects of your student's well-being.

We are fortunate to have an outstanding, nationally recognized health and counseling center committed to helping students pursue their academic goals in an optimal state of physical and mental health. And our safety programs encompass every aspect of your child's security, providing a full-service campus police department and services ranging from a night safety shuttle and walking escorts to a variety of crime prevention and personal safety classes.

I encourage you to get acquainted with the web sites describing these programs — become familiar with the many services offered to ensure your student's health, safety, and well-being while at Cal.
