The Office of Resources for International and Area Studies (ORIAS) is a joint program of the Title VI Area Centers at U. C. Berkeley. Since its inception in 1996, the office has been dedicated to providing scholarly resources and supporting professional development for K-12 and community college teachers addressing international studies. The office is located at 2223 Fulton Street Rm 338 on the U. C. Berkeley campus. ORIAS programs include:

• Free workshops on international studies and world history topics throughout the year.
  
  
• E-newsletter "Updates" with information on campus resources and events of interest to teachers.
  
  
• Tuition scholarships for professional development.
  
  
• A lending library for educators.
  
  
• Web-based resources and curriculum material.
  
  
• Speaker's bureau of Middle East and South Asia scholars and students for classroom visits.
  
  
• On-line directory of Bay Area international education resources.

Programs and materials are designed in collaboration with teachers and scholars to meet the challenge of creating a globally informed student body while addressing the curriculum standards for world history and the particular needs of California's diverse population. Web materials are edited and maintained by Michele Delattre, program coordinator.
