Bay Area Book Festival
(on and off campus)
Interested in learning the ins-and-outs of creating a world class literary festival? Intern with the Bay Area Book Festival for academic credit! The festival, which will take place April 28-29 in downtown Berkeley, is now accepting interns to receive course credit through Rhetoric 197 enrollment. The internship is an excellent opportunity for students to learn what is required to produce a major literary event, and can be tailored to suit a variety of interests. For example, a student may choose to focus on marketing and communications, theater management, sponsorship development and management, or international author programming, among other areas. To learn more about the internship — including how to apply — email sabrina@baybookfest.org. Applications are competitive and open now; don’t hesitate to reach out!

Opportunity to Support Big Ideas: Call for Judges and Mentors!
The Big Ideas Contest is an early-stage innovation competition, now spanning 11 University campuses, that connects interdisciplinary teams of graduate and undergraduate students with the mentorship, training, and resources needed to successfully conceptualize, deploy, and scale social innovations. Since its launch at UC Berkeley in 2006, Big Ideas has inspired more than 5,000 students to propose 1,800+ high-impact projects aimed at solving the world’s most pressing problems. The success of the contest and the teams and ideas it produces is made possible by the 300+ enthusiastic professionals who serve as judges and mentors each year. The student teams applying to the Art & Social Change category would especially benefit from your expertise! The aim of this category is to develop innovative art projects that meaningfully engage with issues of advocacy, justice, and community-building. The projects may use any art form—visual/conceptual art, photography, new media, video, dance, theater/performance art, music, creative writing, or other forms. With the pre-proposal deadline rapidly approaching, we are actively seeking high-quality pre-proposal judges and would love to have you join us. Feel free to reach out to Francis Gonzales (francis.gonzales@berkeley.edu) at the Big Ideas Contest with any questions.

Key information about pre-proposal judging:
Qualifications: Ideal judges and mentors will have a passion for innovation, 5+ years of relevant entrepreneurial or industry experience, and an interest in engaging with highly motivated and talented students.
Time Commitment: Pre-proposal judges commit 5-6 hours between mid November to early December.
Responsibilities: Pre-proposal judges evaluate, score, and provide valuable written feedback on 6-8 three page proposals in a chosen category.
Location: You can participate from anywhere! All pre-proposal judging is done remotely via our online platform.
If you are interested in serving as a judge or mentor, please fill out this application form by November 13th.
