Throughout the semester you’ll get to work with the AWEfficer team on projects like socials, marketing campaigns, DE&I events, workshops, recruiting events, just to name a few! It’s a great way to learn more about how AWE works, get more involved in the club, and get to know the AWEfficer team plus other committee members!
Come to our infosession on Tues Feb 1 at 4-5 PM to talk to previous committee members/current AWEfficers about the committee experience. It’ll be a hybrid event; we will be in-person in Soda 606 and livestreaming the event on Zoom. This is not a mandatory event, but highly recommended for members interested in committee.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to email ivp@awe.berkeley.edu or DM our Internal VP, Jackie Roche, on Slack!
