Purpose
The Supportal site is for people who are new to Berkeley and those who have been here for many years. It is for anybody who has ever asked the question "Who do I call or where do I go to address this particular concern that I have?" Supportal is intended to be a starting place for the entire Berkeley community to find resources.
Background
The Supportal project began in the 2022-23 academic year in response to requests from students, staff, and faculty for a single navigational entry point for the various support needs experienced by members of the campus community, whether seeking help for themselves or for others. This site is housed within the Chancellor's Immediate Office and is maintained on a regular basis. Supportal draws inspiration from a number of previous or still-existing websites, such as reCalibrate, the SVSH hub website, the Academic Leaders' Toolkit, and others.
