About

In RTL, we aim to democratize access to both education and research opportunities at Berkeley and for the broader higher education community. Taking advantage of the unique and rich skill set of our staff, and our positioning within the Division of Undergraduate Education, we seek to ensure higher education continues to evolve in teaching practices and research opportunities that are inclusive, equitable, and accessible.

RTL is composed of several teams providing support for instructors and researchers at Berkeley. With leadership in their area of expertise, teams coordinate around consultations, resources, tools, and projects across RTL for the broader campus community.

As the central resource for the advising and student services community at Berkeley, the AS+T program offers Advancing Practice workshops, the Advising Fellows Program, the Excellence in Advising Awards, and more.
