Join the thinkBIG team!

Sorry! Our applications are currently closed. Thank you to everyone who responded!

We are so excited you are interested in joining our team! For the past two years, the thinkBIG Conference on International Women’s Health and Human Rights has been organized by a group of seven motivated Stanford undergrads who have been inspired to hold a conference focused on educating and inspiring other students to improve the health and human rights situation of women in developing countries. The motivation behind the conference came from Anne Firth Murray's course, International Women's Health and Human Rights. We have planned a campus-wide weekend event in which students with diverse interests throughout the Stanford community will focus on the issues surrounding international women’s health and human rights through speeches, student group performances, information panels, opportunity fairs and more. The ultimate goal is to mobilize our generation-- from the diplomat to the doctor to the ‘check-writer of tomorrow’-- to step up to the challenges of the future and work to improve the situation of women throughout the developing world.

As February 1-3 rapidly approaches we need your help! We are looking for similarly inspired, energetic and motivated students to join our team. Here are the open positions:

1. Marketing Assistant: Our goal is to make the conference known to every single student on campus. We will do this through a countdown in White Plaza, T-shirts, Stickers, Emails, Pre-Conference events and much more. We are looking for an energetic and creative applicant to work with our Marketing Director, Tessa Watt, to pursue this goal.

2. Opportunities Fair Director: Following the Keynote address, there will be a fair in which student organizations, NGOs and academic programs can showcase their work and encourage students to get involved. Many organizations outside of Stanford will be involved. We are looking for an organized student who is skilled at working with people to help coordinate this event.

3. Dorm Representative Supervisors: Our goal is to get at least 300 Stanford students to register for the conference. In order to achieve this goal each dorm on campus will have a representative resident whose job is to register as many people as possible. We are looking for two students who have exemplified strong leadership attributes to coordinate the recruitment efforts of the dorm representatives as well supervise their continued progress leading up to the conference.

4. Film Festival Director: In the months before the conference there will be a film festival featuring one film on each of the four main topics of the thinkBIG conference. We are looking for a passionate student who will organize the film festival.

PLEASE NOTE! If you are interested in helping out but do not have the time to be a cabinet member, you can still be involved! See the Application for more information.

Thanks so much, and we look forward to hearing from you!
Lee Trope and the thinkBIG team
