About the Program

This Spousal and Partner Support Program has been initiated by the Visiting Scholar and Postdoc Affairs Program which reports to the Vice Chancellor for Research.

Because we know that starting a new life in Berkeley can be just as challenging for the spouse/partner as it is for the researcher or student, we would like to familiarize you with other spouses and partners within the UC Berkeley research and student community.

Soon, Berkeley will provide other alternatives for spouses and partners, such as workshops and special events, support groups, resource lists, tours and a web site with the logistical information and much more.

Location
