		| Abstract: | 
		We present the astronomy outreach efforts undertaken for the International Year of Astronomy 2009 at the University of California, Berkeley.  Our department-wide endeavors included a monthly public lecture series by UC Berkeley astronomers and a major astronomy outreach event during a campus-wide university “open house,” which included solar observing and a Starlab Planetarium.  In addition to sharing our outreach techniques and outcomes, we discuss some of our unique strategies for advertising our events to the local community. |
