"This is the first time in history that a San Francisco mayor has chosen a location outside of a municipal building for a State of the City address," said President Robert A. Corrigan. "Mayor Newsom's choice of San Francisco State is a great honor, and a reflection of his strong commitment to partnering with our University to improve the quality of life and economic vitality of the city." The event in McKenna Theatre is by invitation only, but arrangements have been made for members of the campus community who wish to view the speech. Broadcasts will be made on closed circuit television in the Little Theatre of the Creative Arts building and at Seven Hills Conference Center. The broadcast can also be viewed on all campus televisions linked to cable channel 53. The San Francisco Police Department will restrict parking on Tapia Drive and portions of Holloway Avenue prior to and during the event, and the campus neighborhood may experience traffic congestion that afternoon. Alum donates $300,000 to Anthropology Department Alumnus Jay P. Young has pledged gifts totaling $300,000 to the University's Anthropology Department, the largest individual donation ever to the department. Young has provided $250,000 in his living trust to create an SFSU endowment fund to benefit the Anthropology Department, and pledged an additional $50,000 to be donated in the next five years. Young, chief financial officer for the San Francisco Design Center, earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from SFSU in 1981. He joined the center in 1983 as assistant controller and was promoted over the years. In 1995 he earned a master of business administration from the University. For more on the gift, see the SF State News story. Candidates for Health Equity Initiative director Three finalists have been selected for the Health Equity Initiative director position and will make on-campus visits. All members of the campus community are invited to attend. Each candidate will present their vision for the Health Equity Initiative, a program coordinated by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs to enhance SFSU's capacity to obtain extramural funds to address existing health disparities through research, community intervention, curricular offerings and training programs. Thursday, Nov. 10: Gopal Singh, senior epidemiologist/health care administrator
at the Health Resources and Services Administration and Maternal and
Child Health Bureau at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Singh's presentation will be from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in room 116 of
the Ethnic Studies and Psychology building. Thursday, Dec. 1: George Ayala, director of the Institute for Gay Men's Health. Ayala's presentation will be from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in room 560 of the Administration building. Internal Audit move Effective Friday, Oct. 28, the Internal Audit Office will be located in room 406 of the Ethnic Studies and Psychology building (ES&P). Internal Audit will remain in this new location through the spring semester and then return to a newly remodeled area in the Administration building. Internal Audit provides audit, tax, and advisory services to University departments and auxiliary organizations. A reminder: one function of Internal Audit that will be affected by the move is the need of newly hired non-resident aliens to meet with tax specialist Young Kim. Departments hiring non-resident aliens should direct them to ES&P 406. Halloween blood drive The campus community is invited to participate in the Schools of Nursing's third annual Halloween blood drive from noon to 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, in room 343 of Burk Hall. Donations will be handled by the Blood Centers of the Pacific. Halloween candy (and other snacks) will be available to donors. Graduate program review The next step in considering the final report of the Task Force on the Sixth Cycle of Program Review is the review of the "Indicators and Criteria of Graduate Program Viability and Quality." The campus community is encouraged to carefully read this document and provide feedback online. The document is available on the Academic Senate's Web site at: www.sfsu.edu/~senate/indicators_intro.htm
Miyajima's current two-room, in-law apartment is small enough that there are no secrets between her and her two children. The family has survived the challenges of living in tight quarters -- cooking with little counter space, seeking a quiet spot for the children to do homework, and most of all, living in places that don't feel like "home." So last fall the excitement had to be contained when a Habitat for Humanity volunteer called and said her family was selected as a "partner" in the De Long Terrace Homes project. ...
