About the (Not so) Secret Guide

Navigating your college years can seem like a daunting task. Between choosing your semester schedule, getting familiar with campus resources, learning to adapt to a college environment and preparing for a rigorous engineering curriculum, there’s a lot to learn about UC Berkeley and the College of Engineering.

Engineering Student Services is proud to present a weekly podcast, the (Not So) Secret Guide to Being a Berkeley Engineer, as your guide to Berkeley Engineering. You’ll hear from students, advisers, faculty and staff on ways to ensure that your first year at Cal is a successful one.

New episodes of the (Not So) Secret Guide to Being a Berkeley Engineer are released regularly throughout the summer for our incoming frosh and transfer students.

Your host, Laura Vogt, is the associate director of Marketing and Communications at the College of Engineering. After many years of working in theater and local TV news, she’s thrilled to bring her technical knowledge to the podcast. Her goals are to help students learn more about available resources, events and the people who are here on campus to help engineering undergraduates succeed.

Take a look below at how the podcast comes together.
