First Fridays Speaker Series
Note: The Campus Change press release made it into the San Francisco Chronicle!
- October 5, 2007: National Coming Out Day. It was a great event. Very moving and powerful. It’s a wonderful kick-off to the series.
- November 2, 2007: California Indian Storytellers. We have three speakers: Alex Ramirez, Gregg Castro, and Amber Machamer. We have arranged to have this and all the other event audio recorded as a podcast. There is also video recording equipment in the room so we can record the event. Jeanne Virgilio has agreed to be our videographer.
- December7, 2007: Cuban Culture. This Friday night event will be one part of a week-long series of events.
- February 29, 2008: African American History Month. Meet the President! Help us celebrate three years of Campus Change Network's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion by spending an evening with our new President, Dr. DeRionne Pollard.
- March 14, 2008: Women’s History Month: A Presentation by Dr. Doris “Lucki” Allen, Vietnam Veteran.
- April 11, 2008: Media, Culture and Identity in the MDB Lecture Hall. We will be viewing Stranger With A Camera, which is the story of the murder of filmmaker Hugh O'Connor as he attempted to document Central Appalachian poverty. The film covers much more than this one incident as it explores issues of representation, culture and the media. Following the screening will be a Q&A with the filmmaker, Elizabeth Barret.
