A location change was recently announced for Berkeley’s new employee onboarding sessions conducted by Berkeley Regional Services (BRS). Currently, these onboarding sessions are offered each week at 457 Evans Hall Because of the popular demand for these sessions, and to give new Berkeley staff a much better experience with ample room to complete their new employee paperwork, etc., a new more convenient space has been secured. This move will also reduce the impacts on other groups occupying that floor at Evans Hall.
