Virtual Summer Series for Incoming Residents

Over the course of Summer 2025, we offered five informational sessions (including live Q&A) on various topics to help answer your questions about room selection, residence hall policies, meal plans, move-in day, and more! If you missed the live sessions on Zoom, the video recordings (hosted on our YouTube channel) are linked below. Welcome home, Golden Bear!

SUMMER SERIES SCHEDULE: 

Room Selection: Our Associate Director will answer your questions about housing options, Special Interest Housing Communities, the selection timeline and process, give general tips about the MyCollegeRoomie platform, and answer the most common questions that come up throughout the summer.

Setting Up For Success: Wondering what to bring to set up your room? Wondering what NOT to bring? Wondering what kind of staff support you’ll have? A seasoned campus professional and a former resident student will share their best tips about how to safely set up your space, and how to thrive in your hall throughout the year.

Community Expectations & Policies: As a new Golden Bear, it’s important to know the policies that keep you and fellow residents safe. Our senior leadership will review basic policies, give advice about common mistakes new residents make, and review the supports and structures in place within our residential communities.

Welcome Home, Golden Bear! Move-In & Welcome Week: Your first days on campus are exciting, informative, and incredibly memorable. We know it can also be overwhelming, though, and we are here to help. Knowledge is power! We will tell you what to expect on move-in day, answer any questions about logistics, and review what Welcome Week will look like.
