Overnight Host Program
The Overnight Host Program (OHP) is a unique event supporting women and non-binary students admitted to UC Berkeley’s College of Engineering from the College of Chemistry's Chemical Engineering major to get a taste of life as a Berkeley Engineer.
Come join us! Through engaging tours, speakers, and activities, attendees have an exclusive chance to interact with prospective and current engineering students, meet trailblazing professors and faculty, and be paired up individually with a current engineering student at UC Berkeley. We have an exciting lineup planned that you won't want to miss out on!
SWE is working hard to provide students with both an in-person experience of UC Berkeley and online activities to further understand what Berkeley has to offer! Prospective students will also have the option to be hosted by a current female or non-binary identifying UC Berkeley student in the College of Engineering or in an engineering-related major on the night of Friday, April 18th to the morning of Saturday, April 19th.
