Welcome to Unit 3
Unit 3 consists of Priestley Hall, Ida Sproul Hall, Spens-Black Hall, Norton Hall, and Beverly Cleary Hall. If you have ever had a chance to visit the University of California, Berkeley, you know that Unit 3 Residence Halls are located in the hubbub of activity on the southside of the campus. The majority of the continuing students who request Unit 3 Residence Halls like their proximity to campus and the local flavor of Telegraph Avenue.
Beverly Cleary Hall is home to two of our four Theme Programs: Asian Pacific American and Casa Magdalena Mora. These are residential programs for students who have an academic and personal interest in Asian Pacific American and Chicano / Mexican history, culture and issues.

Resident Assistants (RAs)
Theme Program Advisors (TPAs)
Hall Coordinators (HCs)
Security Coordinator (SC)
Security Monitors (SMs)
Health Workers (HWs)
Residential Computing Consultants (RCCs)

Here are descriptions of the duties of these individuals.

Programs and Events - What's Happening When And Where?

The hall staff at Unit 3 Residence Halls develops and coordinates approximately 90 academic, social and cultural programs a semester. Some past examples have included: stress release workshops, lunch with faculty members, safety and security and safer sex programs. These programs allow residents an opportunity to educate and develop themselves outside of the classroom setting. In addition, the health workers and hall associations also coordinate many activities and programs for each hall.


Leadership Opportunities at Unit 3:

Hall Associations
Each hall and theme living program have hall associations made up of student leaders. An executive board comprised of a President, Executive Vice President, Social Vice President, Treasurer, Residence Hall Association representative, and Co-Board representative are elected each semester.

Additional leadership opportunities exist by becoming involved as a floor representative. Together, the student leaders in each area provide a myriad of social, educational, recreational and fun programming and activities for students. Becoming involved with Hall Association is a tremendous opportunity to develop and fine-tune leadership skills and to contribute positively to your community.

Co-Board
Co-Board is comprised of student co-board representatives and the presidents of the five hall associations at Unit 3. They actively plan and create many large scale events for Unit 3 residents. They have sponsored talents shows, boat dances, ski trips, and many other entertaining programs.

Volunteer Tutors
The tutor program is fun, and a great way to get involved, right where you live. As a volunteer you spend one hour per week tutoring in the subject of your choice. Tutors also receive special training and attend meetings to talk with other volunteers.

Student Orientation Staff
You can expect to be greeted by a Student Orientation Staff member upon check-in during August. Each Unit relies upon returning residents to form the SOS that helps design and initiate programs and activities at move-in time in the fall. SOS members assist the hall staff in coordinating events which are intended to welcome students to the residence halls and assist them in becoming familiar with their new environment.

Peer Review Board
Peer Review Board is a student leadership group of 8-10 students who hears cases of policy violations affecting the community. The board meets on weekly basis and is led by a rotating chairperson. They critically analyze incident reports and discuss the report with each student. With the information provided by the student and the report, they decide if a student is responsible or not responsible for a policy violation and if appropriate, they then assign a creative, community based sanction.

Security at Unit 3:

Our safety and security program is spearheaded by the Assistant Residential Life Coordinator and the Security Coordinator staff. The security monitors are on duty every evening in your hall. With your help and cooperation, they insure that your hall is secure. In addition, you may obtain a number of campus and safety resource information from the lobby desk.


About The Students:

Unit 3 Residence Halls are home to a variety of students from diverse backgrounds. This unit was the most desired unit by continuing Cal students, so you can often gain resources and tips from returning students who have experienced the rigors and excitement of Cal. Lastly, many of the UC Berkeley student athletes reside at Unit 3 including, but not limited to, men and women participating in track and field, tennis, baseball, water polo, swimming, volleyball, and crew.
