Ways to Get Involved
There are many opportunities for UC Berkeley students to gain skills in teamwork, research, program management, communications and marketing, and event planning with the Institute for Business & Social Impact (IBSI).
If you’re a UC Berkeley student interested in engaging in experiential learning with IBSI, feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Student Assistants and Academic Student Employees
IBSI staff hire student assistants to support specific administrative workstreams and faculty hire Academic Student Employees (ASEs) in pre-doc, graduate student researcher, and post-doc positions to support and lead research efforts.
Depending on funding available, IBSI can also fund student innovations – such as tracks focused on inclusive financial technology in Blum Center’s Big Ideas program.
Priya Haji Award
The Priya Haji award for continuing students pursuing summer internships in areas that further the mission of IBSI in the area of social innovation and entrepreneurship with enterprises that might not be able to compensate interns at market rates. Students must have a summer internship at a verifiable startup/non-public company, not founded by the applying student, received a specific and substantive written job/internship offer, and the internship is for a full-time, summer position for at least 8 weeks in duration.
