San Francisco State University

Hi guys,

I am a 21 y/o student at SFSU right now. I am writing a paper on the acculturation issues between hetero and homosexual Latino males...so what does this mean? Basically what's the difference between "becoming" Americanized between a gay and straight Latino guy. So I am looking for 2 volunteers from each sexuality (preferably someone who goes to SFSU) to just talk with me about their experience growing up and what it means to them about being an American and how it affects their culture. This "study" is about young adults so 18-25 age range. This is really informal and would probably take no more than 15-20 minutes of your time.

If this sounds like something you would be willing to do, please let me know. I would really appreciate it - thanks!

Several years ago... someone posted an animation either on sfsu or sfsyou. Can't remember which, and have been combing BOTH trying to find the link.

It was an animated (possibly Flash) minimovie thing of a Banana dancing on a street corner to Raffi's Bananaphone.

This post was followed by several comments which included links to other bananaphone movies that were... funny but somewhat gory.

I think it was posted on one of these two communities as a "hey look at this, isn't this funny" thing, but it was actually animated by someone attending SFState (or attended). THAAAT'S why I remember it being one of these two communities.

I've been combing both communities trying to find the link... and I simply cannot find it. It would have been between SY 2002/03-2004/05.

Does anyone remember it? Can anyone find it? Is it possible someone may still have or can find a link to it?

(The combing through the archives was a nice walk down memory lane though, :) I miss the campus sometimes. )

Help please?

does anyone who is graduating this may have extra tickets to the graduation ceremony? i need about 3 or 4... i am very willing to pay for them so...



HOLLA if you or someone you know has some the need taken off their hands!

So Im considering getting a vespa...b/c they look cool and they're portable (relatively) and it's easier to get around the city in. So I was wondering if we have anyone that owns one on here and if they could give some insight into the pros and cons of it, if there's a special kind of license required, etc. Thanks in adv!

Bonjour! Buenos Dias! Ni hao! Merhaba! Mabuhay!

My name is Freidricka and I volunteer with a FUN not-for-profit organization called The Global Language Network (GLN). We're working hard to make language classes FREE and accessible to the San Francisco community. [By the way, try to guess which languages I used to say "hello" in the beginning and "thanks" in the end of this email]

Did you know…
…that right now 260+ GLN volunteers are teaching their native languages (55+ languages!) in Washington, DC to hundreds of community members.

We've partnered with the World Bank to train teachers and help with language resources. Right now we're just in Washington, DC, because only people in DC want to have FUN learning languages—and for FREE—right?
No way! I told everyone at GLN that San Francisco would definitely be interested in something like this, right???

So here's where I need your help…

This is our chance to bring free language classes to the community…but only if we get enough support from YOU!!

FREE language classes in San Francisco: as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Invite your friends to join Global Language Network - San Francisco (http://tinyurl.com/GLN-San-Fran-Fa…).

2. Help us find 1 or more college students to set-up a student group at their college.

3. GLN supplies new student group all resources necessary to start offering FREE language classes.

Start helping now to get GLN set-up in San Francisco by fall 2008!

-----------------------------------------------------------

The Global Language Network is a not-for-profit organization that makes the education of language and culture free to everyone.

Email us or just yell really loud if you can help out with our outreach efforts in San Fran or any other location.
And if you're a college student (or make decisions for a college student) and want to help set up a GLN Chapter at your college let us know!

The founder of GLN, Andrew, will be in San Francisco in the next several days, so this would be a perfect opportunity to meet and discuss!

For volunteering and/or entertaining information please contact: Info@TheGLN.org

To help set-up a GLN Chapter at your college please contact: Create@TheGLN.org

Thanks! Merci! Gracias! Bedankt! Obrigado! Salamat!

The Gender Public Advocacy Coalition is pleased to announce the release of its 2008 GENIUS Survey in partnership with Ernst & Young.  GenderPAC works to ensure that classrooms, communities and workplaces are safe for everyone to learn, grow and succeed.

 

The Gender Equality National Index for Universities & Schools (GENIUS), GenderPAC’s most recent effort to end discrimination and promote awareness, encourages colleges and universities to recognize the benefits of a GenderSAFE^tm campus - supportive equitable and protective for all students. Choosing to participate in GENUIS sends a strong public statement that bullying or discriminating based on the race, sex or gender of a student, faculty, or staff member is not tolerated at your institution

 

Fill out the survey at:  www.gpac.org/GENIUS2008survey, and make sure that we have data for as many schools as possible. Your voice will help us continue to work towards a safe and welcoming environment for every student.

 

While we greatly appreciate the interest taken in GENIUS by students, staff and faculty at academic institutions outside of the United States, at this time GENIUS is only able to track schools based in the United States.

Congrats to Price Trochet who won on Wheel of Fortune tonight against Harvard and College of Charleston! I unfortunately was not lucky enough to watch it since I was in class, but my good friend was awesome enough to keep me updated throughout the show. Good job Price!
