> Good afternoon,
> 
> I am contacting you from TED Conferences and am inquiring with the Theater Arts department at University of California, Riverside to see if you would be interested in an internship program with us.
> 
> TED is a non profit organization dedicated to "Ideas Worth Spreading" - it started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three words: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then, its scope has become ever broader.
> 
> The TEDActive conference is held in Palm Springs, California in parallel with TED in Long Beach. The conference is an intimate live simulcast experience with its own program which include activities, workshops and events unique to TEDActive.
> 
> We are accepting applications for full-time, unpaid internships from Feb 21- Mar 2, 2013 to assist and support our event operations team in Palm Springs / La Quinta. 
> 
> The candidates will be responsible for staffing in designated areas, serve as first point of contact for our operations team and help with various administrative tasks. This internship program is designed to offer practical experience within live event production.  Students studying theatre arts would be suited for this unique internship opportunity (unpaid). We also have paid positions available which would be suited for recent graduates and alumni of your department.
> 
> If you are interested, we would send you a call put to your students and alumni (we will provide the document pending your confirmation). Our current partner schools have found great success with this program as it offers students some practical work in their area of study. Our partner schools have also used this opportunity to offer credits towards the program of studies or count it as mandatory volunteer hours.
> 
> In addiiton, we are also looking to recruit previous alumni with experience in Theater arts and technical design to work with us as local, independent contractors. This is a paid, temporary full time opportunity. If you have an alumni list that would be interested in applying, please let us know and we will forward you further information.
> 
> I look forward to hearing from you.
> 
> Best Regards,
> Ariella
