Vice President Saffold to retire
Jessellyn P. (Penny) Saffold, who has served as Dean of Students and Vice President for Student Affairs since 1994, has announced she will retire in fall 2012.

Vice President Saffold joined SF State in 1981 as Director of Student Activities. Today, she leads a division of more than 20 departments and units that help build a positive learning environment for students, among them the Career Center, Enrollment Management, LEAD, Residential Life, Student Health, University Police Department and the Educational Opportunity Program.

"Dr. Saffold has been a forceful and caring advocate of SF State students for more than three decades," said President Robert A. Corrigan. "She is an integral part of the SF State student experience, and a treasured, wise colleague who will be sorely missed."

Saffold, an ordained minister, plans to devote more time to Pastoral work and her church Foundation after her retirement.

Submitting events to CampusMemo
CampusMemo picks up event listings directly from the University Calendar. 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 www.sfsu.edu/calendar/ and click on "Submit an Event" in the left-hand navigation bar. This 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.
