Native Student
Intercollegiate Gathering
Saturday November 22nd 1pm-5pm
This collaborative event is aimed to foster relationships between Native students within the Cal community and also Native students across a variety of college campuses. Not only will this be an opportunity for personal networking, but also a time to de-stress and build a sense of community across campuses. We hope to hold a comfortable, social space for Native students to come together and start conversations. Upon closing this event, we hope that those who attend feel connected to students from other campuses, and that future collaborations can be held.
Please feel free to invite other Native students from your campus! Have questions? Feel free to contact Elisha Flores (e.flores@berkeley.edu)

API Connect: Caring for Ourselves and our Communities was created as part of a grant received by the Tang Center’s Counseling and Psychological Services and Health Promotion that focuses on the promotion of API mental health and prevention.

Through our partnerships, students are able to drop in APASD (Chavez 249) to seek counseling and speak to our resident psychologist, Lilian Chang.
Lilian is available on Mondays and Tuesdays 10am - 12pm or by appointment.
