WHAT:

Before entering the professional world of Web design, students in San Francisco State University's Web Design Intensive program will be honored Dec. 15 for their volunteer work in creating Web sites for five San Francisco nonprofit organizations.

As their final project, the 16 students formed four teams to create high-quality, comprehensive Web sites for Jewish Vocational Services, Asian Perinatal Advocates, Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), Family Connections and Hearth Homes.

Directors of the nonprofit organizations say that without the help of the SFSU students, they would not have had the resources to build and maintain such comprehensive and well-designed Web sites.

The nonprofits' Web sites are sponsored by Teaming for Technology, a collaborative organization based out of the Northern California Council for the Community that includes United Way of the Bay Area, IBM and Americorps*VISTA.

The completed Web sites will be unveiled at the graduation Dec. 15. Preliminary versions of the Central American Resource Center's (www.carecensf.org) and Family Connections' (www.familyconnectionsportola.org) Web sites are up and running.

WHO:

• Sixteen students graduating from SFSU's Web Design Intensive program;

• Craig Abaya, instructor and Web Design Intensive coordinator;

• Agency directors and other representatives from Jewish Vocational Services, Asian Perinatal Advocates, Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), Family Connections and Hearth Homes;

• Officials from SFSU, IBM, United Way of the Bay Area and other organizations will also be on hand.

WHEN:

Friday, Dec. 15, 2000, 6 p.m.

WHERE:

SFSU Downtown Center rooms 208-209, 425 Market St., San Francisco.
