About NPN
We are a committee within the Berkeley Staff Assembly (BSA) that welcomes new professionals to Berkeley.
Our goal is to create a forum wherein UC Berkeley's early-career professionals and recent hires from across campus can come together to expand their networks, exchange professional development opportunities, and share their experiences and knowledge about building a career at Cal with one another. We plan monthly lunch meetings, networking happy hours, and are working to expand professional development for our members.
If you have ideas, questions, or would like to be involved with the NPN Committee, please contact us at bsa_npn@berkeley.edu

Informal Networking Roster
Our Informal Networking Roster is a way of exchanging contact information with fellow staff members who are interested in meeting one-on-one to discuss shared interests and to learn from each other. Add your name and contact information by completing this form.
The roster will only be shared with current UC Berkeley staff members during NPN meetings and upon request by emailing bsa_npn@berkeley.edu
