On January 14, 2014, I had the pleasure of attending the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King. Jr. Breakfast held in the New University Union from 8:00am
to 9:30am. I was so surprised and more so pleased to see the vast crowd
the morning brought, with guests ranging from students
to faculty and staff, all with one goal in common: to honor Rev. Martin Lu-
ther King Jr. The morning consisted of a wonderful breakfast, as well as
various slideshows, presentations, and even song and dance by students of
our very own. The morning was truly exceptional, and enjoyed by all.
“The Stone of Hope, embodied by the image of Dr. King emerging from
the granite reflects the steadfast resolve of an entire generation to achieve a
fair and honest society.”

The Academic Excellence Committee
put on a highly successful study group
this Tuesday afternoon.
Students gathered to fill three separate
classrooms in the
Meiklejohn building.
Everyone enjoyed
Subway sandwiches
and other refresh-
ments provided by the campus
catering service, and students of
biology gathered upstairs to play
Microbiology Jeopardy with Kalette
Cole.
“Everyone was having a great time
and studying hard,” says Anthony
Becker, who went to support
Academic Excellence’s first big
event. “I think big, well-organized
study events like this
are really useful, and
I look
forward to bringing
my GS students to
their next one.” Anthony added. The
next Studying with Friends study
session will be held the week before
finals week.

ENGLISH SPEAKING TABLE
An idea introduced by the Peer Mentors’ International Committee was to start a table where International students can come to socialize, and practice conversational English.
“We want to make international students feel welcomed to our campus, and most importantly get help from the natives. This is a unique opportunity for these students who come from different countries around the world. I’m very excited for them” says founder Juliet Naishorua.
Mission:
To enhance English speaking and writing ability a good time while making new friends :)

PASA’s Winter Kickoff
By: Catherine Quesada
Every quarter PASA holds an
information night to get members
excited about the upcoming
events. On January 16th, 2014
PASA held their second
informational night of the year.
During the Winter Kickoff a lot
was mentioned from fundraisers,
Kapatid events, Winter Formal and
much more. A big reason why they
wanted to have the kickoff was to
announce the Fall Member of the
Quarter. The award is given to
recognize the members that took
the time to come to events, to get
to know the PASA family, and to
really break out of their shell. The
person who was selected was
Fedelyn Legaspi who is a
freshman this year and became
very involved throughout all of
Fall Quarter. She described the
event and her time with PASA so
far as, “Winter kickback got me
pumped for the rest of the year!
Looking forward to the upcoming
events and I can’t wait to create
more memories with PASA. It’s
easy to get involved once you put
FAM first!” So if you missed out
on this informational night please
feel free to add PASA of CSUEB
on Facebook, Instagram, and
Twitter.
