SSU hosted a ‘Real Time Recruiting’ event on campus to give students the opportunity to find employment. Seawolves met with a variety of companies that offer part time and full time jobs as well as internships. This intimate setting allowed for relationships to grow and connections to flourish. This event took place in Seawolf Plaza from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. last Wednesday.
As alcohol awareness week continues at Sonoma State, an interactive event was held in the Seawolf Plaza. Save A Seawolf Alcohol Awareness Week brings awareness and responsibility where alcohol consumption is concerned. This observance always takes place the week prior to Halloween, as we know that is a high risk time when it comes to college aged students and alcohol use/abuse/misuse.
The M*A*T*H Colloquium presented: How Do Film, Television, and Other Media Influence Girls to Pursue STEM on Wed. Oct. 19 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. via Zoom. This event was open to Seawolves of all backgrounds.
Alpha Xi Delta presents Xi Man 2022! This yearly event consists of seven different boys, one from each fraternity on campus and two from sports teams who all compete in a pageant. Basketball and lacrosse volunteered to participate this year for their sports. This event took place on Saturday Oct.15 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The show has multiple categories that they compete in, one being a talent portion and then miss congeniality.
This week, on Oct. 5, our first annual Greek Week Blood Drive was held in the Mt Denali Gym. This event went on all day from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. and many students stopped by to donate their blood. Greek Week consists of all Greek Life organizations on campus competing on teams against each other in races such as, a school supply drive, blood drive, can-struction, and field day. In the end, a trophy is awarded to each chapter on the winning team.
Friday afternoons with Seawolves are back in action. This was definitely a more quiet event as Friday’s are not the most common day for students to have class/ be on campus. Another Seawolf Living event was held in The HUB Cultural Center on Friday Sep. 30 from 2:30pm-3:00pm. This event wasn’t like your average bonding event. Instead, it was very much hands-on which seemed to make for a fun and engaging activity for the participating students. With a step-by-step tutorial on how to crochet, for beginners. They also provided coffee, fruit, and snacks for the participants who joined the event.
Another beautiful day on campus brought festivities to celebrate Latinx Heritage month, which runs from Sept. 15. to Oct. 15. Culture and Conchas was put on by Associated Student Productions (ASP) on Sept. 22 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., and offered students a chance to watch a performance by Ballet Folklorico Sarita, a Mexican dance group from Windsor. Along with the performance, ASP also gave out conchas, which are a Mexican sweet bread. The name “concha” means “shell” in Spanish, which is how they got their name, because of the shell-like pattern of streusel baked onto the top of the bread roll.
Sonoma State professor Hilary Homize is releasing her 17th children's book, “If You Were a Princess: True Stories of Brave Leaders from Around the World” featuring the stories of almost 40 princesses. A nonfiction, informational, and very diverse book that turns around the concept of what a princess is or what she represents, the princesses in this book are coders, Olympic athletes, MD/PhDs, inventors, professors and astronomers.
The sun was out and Seawolves were active at the Club Fair and Hotdog Giveaway event, which seemed like a hit. The Seawolf Plaza was packed with students checking out all of the booths and what they had to offer. This event was held on Wednesday, Sep. 7, from 11:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m..
Sonoma State is back on campus with the popular event, REXPO. Thursday Aug. 25, from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. outside of the rec center, a variety of different clubs came out to spread information on the activities and events they hold on campus for incoming students who may not be aware.
