Cal Disorientation 2008
Read the 2008 Guide now! On the web or as a pdf
Welcome to the Cal Disorientation Guide project. We are UC Berkeley students, working to shape our common cultural landscape. Through this project, we aim to turn you on to what we see as astounding, important, or just fun pieces of Berkeley's past, present, and future. Find the right group to hook up with to start actively working towards a better future; read about past generations of students from their point of view; discover some great activities to do around Berkeley.
Create the future Disorientation guide -- in Fall 2008 there will be a DeCal course to produce the 2009 edition! Join up to publish your writings and art, and to learn how to be part of a publication. Contact us at <collective NOSPAM AT caldisorientation DOT org> for more information.
Universities are meant to educate whole human beings. You didn't come here just to sit in your dorm room doing homework, did you? Read on!
