When will Calapalooza be in fall 2012?
Well now, we haven't determined the date yet, but if all goes well--budgetwise--we will probably set up on Thursday, August 23, 2012. What a great end for your first day of classes!
What is Calapalooza?
Calapalooza is Berkeley's annual new student activity fair, the heart of your Welcome experience. All new freshmen, transfer students, and participants in the Extension Fall Program for Freshmen are invited. You'll meet representatives from student organizations (see below), as well as view performances by student groups, 510/642-4970.
Note: The information posted below is from last year! Updated information for Calapalooza 2012 will appear sometime in August.
