SSiE 2024-2025 Core Team Application

What is the core team?

The Core Team is a group of passionate SSIE members who are divided into specialized subteams that help organize and structure SSIE’s operations, from planning events to conducting research on current industry trends, to marketing our activities, and much more. Together, they form the foundation that supports all our initiatives and activities. 

Subteams

  • Events Subteam

    The creative minds behind our events and activities. They are responsible for planning and executing a variety of events, including video production workshops, guest speaker sessions, and collaborations with other campus clubs. Screenings, DIY filmmaking contests, you name it!

  • Marketing Subteam

    The communicators who amplify our message and engage with the broader Stanford community. They design promotional materials for upcoming events, uphold our online presence, and maintain the club’s brand identity.

  • Research Subteam

    The analysts who keep us informed about industry trends and opportunities. This year, in partnership with USC's entertainment technology club, the research team will conduct market research to uncover valuable insights within the entertainment industry.

  • Outreach and Resources Subteam

    The bridge between our members and the entertainment industry, dedicated to building valuable connections and providing essential resources and job postings for our members.

  • If you're interested in multiple subteams, that's great! We encourage you to explore all avenues within the SSiE Core Team. When applying, please indicate all the subteams you're interested in. Interviews are subteam-specific, meaning you could be invited to interview for each subteam you apply to (so if you express interest in all four subteams, you could have up to four interviews). Throughout the process, you'll have the opportunity to rank your preferences however, if you receive an offer to join the Core Team, it will be for one specific subteam.

  • That's great! We're thrilled to hear that you want to rejoin the Core Team. You will still need to apply again, but you’ll have the option to indicate in your application that you've been a Core Team member before.

  • Core team members are expected to attend ALL our bi-weekly meetings! Since responsibilities can vary between subteams, we encourage you to ask about the specific duties of each subteam during your interview!

  • Being part of the SSiE Core Team offers numerous benefits. You'll play a critical role within SSiE, contributing directly to the success and growth of our club as well as growing your own skills as you can gain hands-on experience in whichever subteam you join. As a Core Team member, you'll also receive priority consideration for our annual LA trip, where you can connect with industry professionals and get an insider's look at the entertainment world. Additionally, you'll often have the chance to interact with the guest speakers and industry leaders we bring in for events. To build and foster our community, we’ll be hosting quarterly mixers—preferably off campus—so you can really connect with your fellow core team members.

  • If you would like to talk to us in person, we'll be tabling at activities fair on Wednesday, Oct. 2!

    All of our events, workshops, and bi-weekly meetings are open to anyone! Just check the mailing list for details.

    Who knows, there might even be a need for additional help during the year where non-core team members who attend meetings regularly can step up to the plate and officially join the core team!
