There can be weekends where students are unsure on what to do on campus here at Sonoma State. Student Involvements got you covered this week as they hosted their slime making craft workshop. For this event, which is part of their DIY Craft of the Week held every Saturday at 7 p.m. students were invited to come make slime and socialize with one another. Held in Weyden and Brewster, the tables came lined with all the supplies needed so that anyone could create their own slime masterpieces.

Students came to Seawolf Plaza on March 16th to see how clubs, Greek life and different organizations promote body positivity. The goal of this event was to bring the Sonoma State community together with a variety of activities and instructional ways to practice self care, self confidence and acceptance of all different bodies.

Ever wonder how to spend your Saturday morning? Why not spend the time getting to play with cute little furballs. As part of Sonoma State’s program Join Us Making Progress (JUMP), student volunteers woke up bright and early for a Days Of Service event at the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter. For JUMP events off campus, students meet in front of the school and carpool to the volunteer location. Students were then shown a tour around the shelter while learning about what goes on behind the scenes. Students had the chance to see the animal’s rooms, outdoor play facilities and feeding rooms. The shelter takes in different types of animals from dogs to bunnies. For pets they offer spaying, neutering as well as free microchipping.

Spring is around the corner and Associated Student Productions (ASP) took advantage by offering a floral arrangement workshop last week. The creatively named, “Va-Va Bloom” class took place inside Weyden & Brewsters on Thursday night. The class was designed to help Seawolves express their creativity and learn how to make their own floral arrangements. After April showers bring May flowers, floral arranging will be a handy skill to have. It is a talent that fellow Seawolves can use throughout their life. Floral arranging is also much cheaper to make your own bouquets than to purchase them from a florist.

Sonoma State Women’s golfer Talia Gutman gives us a look into a typical day in her busy schedule of being a student-athlete. Gutman is a freshman chemistry major from Ariz. She joined the team this year and she said, “I think it was the best decision I have made, and I am just so happy to be with this team. They are truly family to me.”

Sonoma State Baseball made program and CCAA history this past Friday when Marika Lyszczyk became the first female to play in a game. Lyszczyk is originally from British Columbia and signed with the Seawolves this past year. There was plenty of buzz early in the season about the new recruit. Coming in to pitch in the 9th inning, Marika recorded three outs while giving up one unearned run on her way to history.

The Sonoma State Men's Basketball team had a two-game home slate last week. It kicked off on Thursday night when the Seawolves faced a shorthanded Cal State Dominguez team. Dominguez Hills came into this game with the worst record in the CCAA at 4-12 and suited up only five players for the game, while Sonoma was perched in third place in the conference at 9-7. 

Sonoma State softball is back in action this spring and the team has big expectations after last year’s stellar season. Sonoma finished 42-18 and 24-12 in conference play last year and made a statement by winning the CCAA championship while recording the most runs in the tournament's history. Last year's squad also made a strong run in the Division ll West Regional tournament and they look to keep the momentum rolling into this season. The team is ranked number third in the Preseason Coaches Poll but have their sights set on higher expectations. The Seawolves also have four players who are continuing their All-Conference performances from last year on the CCAA Preseason Watchlist.
