 ====Astronomy Career Development Seminar (AstroCDS)==== ====Astronomy Career Development Seminar (AstroCDS)====
 This talk series increases the exposure of UCB Astronomy undergrads, grads, and postdocs to a variety of career opportunities outside academia (any job except R1 university Prof.). Two to three times per semester we invite a UCB alum, who did their PhD in astronomy, to tell us how they got from grad school to their current job. The talk is informal and very interactive. The speaker spends 15-20 min telling us about their path and the remaining 40 minutes is Q&A. Thanks to strong faculty support, especially Eugene, Mariska, Imke, we have funding to cater the event. We bring in food during the last 20 min so we can eat, mingle, and keep the time commitment to 1 hour! This talk series increases the exposure of UCB Astronomy undergrads, grads, and postdocs to a variety of career opportunities outside academia (any job except R1 university Prof.).

 +====Movie Night Overlord====
 +Movie Night is a semi-monthly gathering with screenings of astronomy or space-themed films and free pizza, snacks, and soda. The primary responsibility of the Movie Night Overlord is to screen a movie every other week (usually in Campbell 131) and send an email to the Movie Night mailing list informing them of what movie is going to be screened. Also, posters are to be made and put up before each movie night, pizza and other food is to be ordered, and reimbursements submitted (food is funded by the department). Further, at the beginning of each semester, a semester movie schedule is be selected, a corresponding semester movie poster is to be created, and the budget for the semester is to be agreed upon with the department.
