Dear UC Berkeley Colleagues,
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions, in partnership with the East Bay Solano County Consortium / Cal-SOAP (EBSCC), is pleased to announce that College Information Day & UC Berkeley Showcase will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This signature outreach event will welcome roughly 3,000 prospective middle school, high school, and transfer students, along with their families, to campus to explore higher education opportunities and prepare for college success. While highlighting the exceptional academic programs, student experiences, and resources that define UC Berkeley, the event will also provide comprehensive information about a wide range of colleges, universities, and postsecondary pathways, helping students and families make informed decisions about their educational futures.
Throughout the day, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the college admissions process, financial aid, and college readiness; engage with representatives from colleges and universities; connect with UC Berkeley faculty, staff, and students; explore campus resources; and participate in guided tours and interactive activities.
College Information Day & UC Berkeley Showcase reflects UC Berkeley and EBSCC’s enduring commitment to educational access, college readiness, and public service. By bringing together educational partners from across the region, the event supports students at every stage of their college journey while demonstrating Berkeley’s leadership in expanding opportunities for future scholars.
We look forward to partnering with the campus community to make College Information Day & UC Berkeley Showcase a success. Further details will be shared with the Admissions Stakeholders group. If you are not yet a member of this group and would like to join, please email us at berkeleyadmissions@berkeley.edu.
