Latest eNews

Dear Fellow SF State Parents & Family Members,

On behalf of the Parents Council, I am pleased to be able to present you with the Fall 2012 edition of the SF State Parents & Family Program eNews. It is our hope that this newsletter helps fulfill a key goal of the Parents Council, which is to provide parents and families with timely campus updates. As a parent of a sophomore, and the founding president of the SF State’s Parents Council, I encourage you to become involved in your child’s educational experience.  By reading a wide range of articles included in the eNews, you'll be able to find an opportunity to participate in the SF State experience.

Here are a few highlights of this edition:

• Freshmen Advising Tips from "Joe TheAdvisor"
• Help Recent Alumni and Graduating Students with Off-Campus Job Placement
• Plan Early for Study Abroad
• Men's Cross Country Team Heading to Nationals
• On-Campus Student Employment Opportunities
• International Education Week
• Success of the On-Campus Voter Registration Drive & Budget Update
• It's Basketball Season: SF State Gators Strong Play against Cal Bears at Haas Pavilion
• Preparing for Fall and Winter Break 

We have included several articles for you to read more about the outstanding achievements and recognition received by SF State faculty, students, and alumni at SF State in the News, including the following articles:

• Alumna Stephanie Galinson named a 2012 "Bay Area Pipeline Fellow," a program to help train female venture capitalists
• SF State launches new campaign to raise student support from private donors
• Professor Pat Jackson wins Emmy for sound editing

For Fall, Winter, and Spring Recess and other holiday schedules, take a look at the University Calendar. A recent parent update from University Housing includes other important dates for students living on-campus.

I look forward to connecting with all of you via the Parents Council Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/sfstateparents. To join the Parents Council, sign-up to volunteer or look out for e-mail alerts to advocate on behalf of SF State in your e-mail inbox and take action. 

Sincerely,

Janice Herwegh Gumas 
President, SF State Parents Council
