Berkeley College’s 11th annual Women’s Entrepreneurship Week event brings together student entrepreneurs and women- and minority-led community businesses to learn, connect, and turn ideas into action. This year’s theme, “The Smart Hustle: AI for Small Business,” will share best practices on how aspiring entrepreneurs can use AI in ways that are practical, accessible, and immediately useful – not as another technology buzzword, but as a tool that can help small business owners save time, reduce costs, improve marketing and operations, and compete more effectively. 
This event is open to students, alumni, and the community. Space is limited and registration is required. To learn more about sponsorships for our 2026 event, email <a href="mailto:KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu" rel="noopener" target="_blank">KME@BerkeleyCollege.edu</a>.

Madison Community Arts Center

The Librarians is a powerful and timely documentary exploring the growing battle over book bans in America. The film follows librarians who find themselves on the front lines of a national debate over censorship, education, and intellectual freedom. As efforts to remove books from schools and public libraries intensify, these dedicated professionals risk their careers and face personal threats while defending the freedom to read.
Both compelling and thought-provoking, The Librarians raises urgent questions about who decides what we can read, whose stories are told, and the importance of protecting access to diverse ideas.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Amy Penwell, President-Elect of the New Jersey Association of School Librarians.
