Emmy winners headline alumni day
Peter Casey, (B.A. '75), and Glen Charles, (M.A. '68), who defined comedy as producers of the hit comedy series "Cheers," will kick-start a day of celebration and rediscovery for alumni on Oct. 17. The pair will reflect on their time at SF State and careers in the entertainment industry during a luncheon at 11:30 a.m. in the Cesar Chavez Student Center. The conversation between the longtime collaborators will be moderated by alum and CBS 5 anchor Ken Bastida (B.A.'80).
"Glen Charles and Peter Casey are representative of the thousands of talented, successful alumni who have passed through the halls and classrooms of this University," said Lee Blitch, vice president of University Advancement. "Throughout their careers, Glen and Peter have shown the world the power of an education from SF State."
Current faculty will discuss the work being done at SF State during a daylong speaker series. Attendees can hear about groundbreaking research on facial recognition by Professor of Psychology David Matsumoto, the strides made by Caitlin Ryan and the Family Acceptance Project or a presentation on literary creativity by notable creative writing alums and faculty.

In addition to the speaker series and luncheons, numerous colleges and departments will host their own reunions and open houses for alumni. For more information, visit www.sfsu.edu/~alumni/simons_alumni_days/college_events.html

New way to submit events to CampusMemo
CampusMemo will now pick up event listings directly from the University Calendar to streamline the events publicity function for campus units. Departments interested in publicizing an event in CampusMemo simply need to register the event on the University Calendar by 10 a.m. on Wednesday of the previous week. To submit an event, go to http://www.sfsu.edu/calendar/ and click on "Submit an Event" in the left-hand navigation bar. This new procedure saves event sponsors the extra step of entering information specifically for CampusMemo, and the later deadline for submittal allows more time for event sponsors to submit their items to CampusMemo.
