Attention, New York Harvardwood members!

We're looking for volunteers to reinvigorate the Harvardwood Actors Program and the Harvardwood Writers Program in the New York City chapter! If you are an actor and/or writer who's interested in connecting and collaborating with other members of the Harvardwood community, please contact Spence Porter, Harvardwood NYC's Chapter Head.

We're excited to hear from you and to put together some exciting programs and events for our NYC-based actors and writers!

Congratulations to the Harvard Class of 2014!

As we celebrate the achievements of Harvard's Class of 2014 this month, Harvardwood is happy to offer our new grads a $10 discount off one year's Full Membership to Harvardwood!

The volunteer will assist the Director in producing this career development program for current Harvard students. The HSIP provides a list of summer internship opportunities in the arts, media and entertainment to interested Harvard students. This summer, the volunteer will coordinate career-related activities throughout the summer for participating students and companies in NYC and LA (and/or other cities in which there is critical mass).

This is a great stepping stone for a volunteer who is interested in joining the Harvardwood Board of Directors in future.

Harvardwood seeks accommodations hosts for the 2014 Harvardwood Summer Internship Program (HSIP). The HSIP provides a list of summer internship opportunities in the arts, media, and entertainment to interested Harvard students. In addition, HSIP facilitates career-related activities throughout the summer for participating students and companies in NYC and LA.

Because several of these internships are unpaid, many HSIP participants are in need of free or discounted accommodations to help defray the costs of accepting these opportunities. If you have a spare couch, futon, sleeping bag, or room(s) you can provide to a student or students (either free or discounted) for an extended period of time this summer (most internships run from mid-June to early August), please let us know!

This month, Harvardwood is launching a March Madness Membership Drive! Read on to find out how you can get discounted (or FREE) Harvardwood membership for one year:

1) $5 DISCOUNT:

If you sign up for Full Membership THIS month, use the discount code "MMMDL20143" to get $5 off your annual membership dues (usually $45). The discount code expires March 31, 2014.
