Our Slack is where the org lives between GBMs — announcements, department channels, story pitches, shoot schedules, and the occasional meme. It's where work actually gets done.

What You Get

More than a
student org.

🎙️
Real Experience
Not simulated. Not hypothetical. You'll produce content that real people listen to, watch, and read — from your first week.
🏆
Professional Portfolio
Bylines, broadcast credits, production reels — Bearcast experience is recognized by employers and graduate programs in journalism, media, and communications.
🤝
Mentorship
Senior members and directors invest directly in your development. You're not starting from scratch — you're joining a team that knows how to teach.
📡
Access & Equipment
Professional cameras, broadcast equipment, a recording studio, and a radio station. Members get full access to tools that students don't typically touch until graduate school.
🌐
A Network That Lasts
1,000+ alumni across media, tech, journalism, and entertainment. Bearcast is a lifelong network, not just a four-year activity.
🚀
Leadership Fast
Director roles are available to any member who demonstrates commitment and skill — regardless of year. Some of our best directors were sophomores.
