About JGRB

Japanese Graduates and Researchers Society at Berkeley (JGRB) launched in May 2009. It is a registered student organization of University of California at Berkeley for local Japanese graduates and researchers.
JGRB serves as a social function for graduates, researchers, and alumni around Berkeley, as a guide for prospective students about application, and as a bridge between Japanese communities at UC Berkeley and the external organizations.

The main activities of JGRB are as follows:

- to create opportunities for Japanese graduate students and researchers to interact across various disciplines in casual atmosphere
- to enjoy tasty Japanese foods and drinks
- to organize the mailing list and the website for members to communicate beneficial information: achievements, recruiting, local events, etc.
- to respond to inquiries from Japanese prospective students about UC Berkeley
- to act as a link between the Campus and any other organizations interested in JGRB

JGRB will hold welcome parties at the beginning of academic year and small gatherings during semester. The information on our activities will be available on this website and through our mailing list.
