When you are able
to hear Leonardo DiCaprio shout "I'm king of
the world!" over the sound of soaring violins, you have sound editor
and engineer Christopher Boyes (B.A., Cinema, '85) to thank. He has worked
on more than 40 major motion pictures and earned three Oscars during
his nearly 20-year career. Boyes lives in Inverness in Marin County,
where he often works with Lucas Films' Skywalker Sound.
San Francisco native
Heather Fong is the first female police chief in the city's history
and the first Asian American woman in the country
to preside over a large urban department. In 1988, after 11 years on
the force and five years investigating child abuse for the juvenile division,
Fong entered the master's of social work program at SFSU. Her degree
changed the way she looked at abuse and family interventions, enabling
her to see not just the police work but the "healing part" as
well. Fong was named chief in April by Mayor Gavin Newsom after a national
search.

much an educator as she is an entertainer. Her most well known song, "You'll
Sing a Song, And I'll Sing a Song," is the best-selling record in
the history of her record label Smithsonian Folkways. She earned a bachelor's
degree in sociology from SF State in 1951
