Networking Internship Opportunity with the Walt Disney Company

Hello,

I am a member of the campus representative team here at Indiana University for the Disney College Program and I want to thank you for taking some time to learn more about this amazing opportunity for your students. The Disney College Program is a chance for students to learn how to apply what they have learned in school in a real world setting with a Fortune 100 company. Students are given a role within the parks, resorts, or other Disney owned properties in either Anaheim, CA or Lake Buena Vista, FL where they learn skills such as customer relations, working in a fast paced environment, efficiently managing operations, and significantly increasing their communication skills within a diverse environment, in addition to lessons learned through specific roles within the company. Upon completion, students will already have their foot in the door with the Walt Disney Company and its many affiliates. In fact, many high level Disney employees started their careers as a participant in this program throughout its history. If students would like to learn more about this program, they can check out our website at www.disneycollegeprogram.com. Students may apply now for the program online and are also encouraged to attend our on-campus presentations.

Student Film Festival Returning to IU

Campus MovieFest, World’s Largest Student Film Festival:

 2011-2012 School Tour

Festival coming to Indiana University with incredible prizes, great exposure and exciting new opportunities

(Bloomington, IN) – 3/22/2012 Campus MovieFest (CMF), the world’s largest student film festival, is coming to Indiana University as part of its 11th annual world tour. Students who sign up for CMF can receive everything they need to make a five-minute movie in a week – including an Apple laptop, Panasonic HD video camera, training, and support – all for free.

“We are absolutely thrilled to launch this year’s search for the top student filmmakers around the world, including a new tour of events throughout Europe,” said Dan Costa, Co-Founder of Campus MovieFest. “Ever since we started CMF as students in 2001, we’ve been honored to help discover exceptional talent and bring unforgettable experiences to students, and this year is sure to be the best yet.”

Any student at Indiana University is welcome to participate by simply signing up online at www.campusmoviefest.com and submitting a brief story idea. Participating students experience an unforgettable opportunity to express themselves, learn about filmmaking, and of course, have a lot of fun with the chance to win great prizes and exposure including cash, Hollywood pitch meetings, and more. In addition, top CMF films are showcased in-flight on Virgin America and at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.

Students can signup online before moviemaking launches on Thursday, March 22^nd. Students then have one week to film and edit their movies about anything they can imagine. Categories include Best Picture, Best Drama, and Best Comedy, as well as the CMF Elfenworks Social Justice Category, an opportunity to create a short movie or song about poverty and social injustices for a chance to win up to $20,000 in cash grants. 

Movies are turned in on Wednesday, March 28^th and then judged by a panel of CUA students, staff, and faculty. On Monday, April 2^nd, the top short movies will be shown at a red carpet finale at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre at 7:30PM. Top winners from Indiana University will advance to the CMF Grand Finale in Hollywood, CA, in June 2012.

IU winners are also invited to join the CMF Distinguished Filmmakers Network, a program that provides top students with opportunities ranging from paid content production to unforgettable experiences within the film industry.

During the 2010-2011 World Tour, over 75,000 students participated in Campus MovieFest, with over 250 films advancing to the final round of the competition at the CMF Grand Finale at Warner Bros Studios this past June. Young filmmakers from around the world arrived in Hollywood to attend filmmaking panels, workshops, and an award ceremony with prizes and cash grants presented by a host of celebrities including Elizabeth Banks (30 Rock), John Cho (Star Trek), Jack McBrayer (30 Rock), Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park), and many more.

“I don't think I've ever had such an affirming and exhilarating experience as CMF allowed me to have,” said Ien Chi, the 2011 International Grand Finale Best Picture winner (“Tick Tock”) from Emory University. “It's a wonderful opportunity to tell your own story and be heard in a community of passionate and respectful artists. Because of CMF, there is no excuse not to get your ideas on the big screen!”

About CMF

CMF began over a decade ago when four students at Emory University provided fellow students with everything they needed to make movies in one week. Since then, more than 500,000 students have received all the necessary technology and training to tell their stories for free thanks to corporate partners and schools. Past winners have walked away with over $2 million in prizes and seen their films on the big screens at CMF events nationwide, at Cannes, at major Hollywood studios including Paramount, Warner Bros, and Universal, and on millions of smaller screens – including mobile devices, in-flight on Virgin America, and online.

LAMP Applications

Dear students,

If you are preparing your application to LAMP it’s important to think about your letters of recommendation now.  Faculty will need time to write these letters and with mid-terms and spring break approaching it’s important to give them time to draft the letters.  So, be sure to contact the appropriate faculty and ask for the letter BEFORE spring break so everyone will have sufficient time. 

Also, as a reminder, it’s best to have these letters come from IU faculty, ideally from classes in which you have distinguished yourself academically.  We also have very good letter from lab leaders, and mentors on the IUB campus.  Letters from employers or high school teachers are less effective as the admissions committee needs to hear about your college work. 

As always, please contact Michael DeNunzio at mdenunzi@indiana.edu with any questions about your application.

All the best,

Michael DeNunzio

Job Opportunities with U.S. PIRG

Hello,

As a graduating senior, you are no doubt trying to decide what you will do next year, or even for the next 5 years. Consider a job with U.S. PIRG. www.uspirg.org/jobs

When I was getting ready to graduate from college I knew I wanted to do something to make the world a better place, but I didn’t know what kind of job or career would enable me to make the biggest impact. When I heard about U.S. PIRG and how they tackle our country’s biggest problems by mobilizing millions of people across the country, I was excited. As a campus organizer at IU, I have trained over 60 students how to effectively organize campaigns that help increase energy efficiency, alleviate poverty, and advocate lowering the cost of textbooks.

If you’re like me, you look around and see too many problems in our country to sit back and do nothing. With U.S. PIRG, you can actually get paid to take on and solve the problems our country faces; from advocating for policies that will protect consumers from big bank and credit card rip-offs, to educating citizens and students about energy efficiency, and increasing participation in democracy.  

                               

U.S. PIRG is part of a federation of state-based public interest advocacy groups. And working together we have a much greater opportunity to make a difference. We have a 40-year track record of organizing on these issues, and, we’re hiring graduating seniors to jump right in and make a critical impact as a campus organizer or in our fellowship program.

Learn more about both of these positions and apply at www.uspirg.org/jobs.

We will be holding information sessions and interviews on campus on March 6^th and 7^th at 12:00 and 3:00 in the Training Room at the IU Career Development Center at 625 N. Jordan Ave, across from Wells Library. I encourage you to find out more and apply! If you are unable to make it to one of those sessions but you are still interested, please email me.

For more information check out our website, or send me an email at Hannah@inpirg.org

Sincerely,

Hannah Brown
