RECRUITMENT SPRING '25

Our Application Process:

BCEC is an equal opportunity, anti-rush/hazing, inclusive, professional community. Meaning, we admit on the basis of proven work ethic and passion for the entertainment industry, no matter your grade-level, age, socioeconomic level, or race.

The CM application process includes 1 written application, 1 zoom interview, 1 social mixer, and 1 in-person interview. The GM application includes 1 written application and 1 zoom interview.

For new members, both sets of written applications include 1 general Why BCEC question and 2 committee specific questions. For returning members, both sets of written applications include 1 general returner question and 1 committee specific returner question.

Before Applying:

  • Do some research on our semester projects and the possible committees you’d be interested in joining. Learn more about our Spring 2025 projects here!

  • Know the names of the committee directors you will be applying under. They will be the ones reviewing your application! Reach out for coffee chats, talk to them at our info-session — the more you network with our team, the better chance you’ll have at sticking out during the deliberation process.

  • Try to sign up for a coffee chat with your intended committee director before the slots fill up, and attend at least one info session.

  • Still have questions? Feel free to check out our Application FAQ, email us at calbcec@gmail.com, or contact us on Instagram @calbcec.
