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

Social Hour: "What We're Eating & Drinking"
Wednesday, October 21, 5:15–6:30 p.m.
Online via Zoom
For this refreshing after-work social hour, we're encouraging staff to prepare or order to-go their favorite food and beverage during a "what we're eating and drinking" show-and-tell mixer. Consider this a great way to connect with colleagues across campus and indulge in a midweek pick-me-up treat!
