Fill The Socks Box!!!

2010-11-10T14:41:00.000-08:00

Hello GSA Members and Friends,

Our Fall sock and underwear drive has begun!

- All "NEW" socks donated will be given to the Multi Service Center(MSC) in Long Beach. The MSC is the main hub for homeless services in the city and will distribute all items based upon need.

- You don't need to donate socks. We are collecting underwear and financial donations as well.

- According to the 2008 Long Beach Homeless Count there are over 3,000 homeless men, women and children who are currently living in shelters, hotel rooms and on the streets.

- The cold months are upon us and socks will help keep people's feet warm and clean. Socks are often used as mittens by cutting a small hole for the thumb in the side.

- "The Socks Box" is located in the Geography office in LA4 room 106.

I purchased 5 pairs of socks for $4.50 from BJ Clothes on 7th street just around the corner from CSULB.

Please spread the seed and encourage people to help. Students are not the only ones who can help, instructors, family members and friends can assist us in filling our donation bin.

Thank you for your help.

Golden Shore Wetlands CleanUp

2010-02-12T11:49:00.000-08:00

Hello GSA Bloggers,

Here is a message from grad student, Mike Nichols concerning the Golden Shore Wetlands CleanUp:

Hey all -

I spoke with LB parks and recreation about coordinating a cleanup for the Golden Shore Wetlands, downtown LB by the Catalina Express launch. In conjunction with the El Dorado Nature Center, on February 20th (Saturday from 10 AM - 12 PM) they will make that area available for clean up!
Since the last rains the place is pretty bad and could really use some TLC. I was down there the other day and there were tons of doves in the grass by the shoreline wading through all kinds of trash.

http://www.communitywalk.com/golden_shores_preserve/map/129303

It would be great if we could get some people down there to help out.

Thank you.

First Meeting for Spring 2010

2010-02-11T19:23:00.000-08:00

Thank you to all the students who attended our first GSA meeting tonight! It was great to see our returning members of the GSA as well as our potential new members. Thank you Dr. Thien for advising our club and thank you Dr. Jocoy for the information about the LINK Housing internship opportunity. Participation from students and faculty are what make the CSULB Geography Student Association strong.

A lot of great ideas were shared tonight and will factor into our plans for the semester. We are here to expand our cultural perspective as students free of the binding environment that academia may often create. Sometimes it's cool to hang out and learn something without having to write a two-thousand word reflection paper. I hope you all share your passion for growth and experience with the GSA as we start our Spring semester!

SAVE THE DATE: Our Cultural Tasting will be February 25th at 7:30 pm The Location will be posted soon. Please E-Mail us - CSULBgsa@gmail.com to reserve your seat.

Please tell us what you want from the Geography Student Association. Post ideas, thoughts, reflections and whatever else you would like to say. The GSA BlogSpot is for everyone so lets have fun with it. :)

Geographers, Burgers and Vets

2009-11-19T20:19:00.000-08:00

GSA, Burgers and Vets

- By JP Cordero

Geography students shouted out food orders Wednesday, November 11^th as we volunteered our services at a Veterans Day event which was held at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Center for the National Guard. “Hot dog and hamburger combo!” could be heard clear across the base while Geography Student Association volunteers took on the heavy task of feeding thousands of hungry veterans and their families.

Smiles were plentiful as thanks were given to the men and women who served in the US armed forces. Hot grease attempted to burn through my plastic sanitation gloves as I stacked burger upon burger onto plates which were handed out for free to all veterans and any one who was hungry. The line for our tasty sensations was almost one-hundred meters long and snaked around the outdoor dining area filled with men and women decorated by metals and ribbons received in all wars fought from World War 1 up to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

At times it was unnerving to see the occasional M-16 assault rifle shouldered by some of the active members of the National Guard but once they were eating my worries dissipated. Working along side the men of The Elks Lodge in Garden Grove was a real treat in that we were consistently entertained by their anecdotes of time spent in our nation’s service and humored by their silly antics.

Dr. Unna Lassiter headed our mission to feed all our hungry veterans and she reminded us of the importance of recognizing such an important day. With the help of our beloved professor and the GSA our mission was a success! It came as no surprise when we were invited to come back for next year’s Veterans Day event to once again feed the Vets.

Study Session Reminder

2009-11-08T20:29:00.000-08:00

Just a couple of quick reminders:
Firstly, our next meeting is this Thursday, October 29th at 5 PM in LA4 100.
Secondly, although we have a handful of folks committed to helping out, we are still looking for more volunteers for our Veterans' Day Event on November 11th, where we will carpool to the Base in Los Alamitos (Joint Forces Training Base 11206 Lexington Drive in Los Alamitos). We will be there early, between 9-10AM to set up and serve a BBQ lunch to the veterans! Please email us ASAP if you are interested!
Thirdly, the annual Geography Awareness Week is just around the corner (NOV. 9-12), and we are looking for volunteers to help out with the Photo Contest. The GSA will need volunteers for the following phases: A.) manning our table (taking shifts to oversee our t-shirts, promoting the club!!)B.) preparing the photos (includes categorizing the pics, slipping them into plastic protectors, and labeling)C.) setting up (includes bringing out/taking down the display boards, pinning up photos onto the display boards, etc.) ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO SUBMIT YOUR PHOTO BY NOVEMBER 3rd...the earlier the better!!
**confirm with your individual professors whether or not you could get EXTRA CREDIT for participating in the photo contest!**
That's it for now, I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon!! Please don't be afraid to email us with any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc.
Thanks for all of your support,
Christine Pham

CSULB Geography Graduate Students will be presenting their work, you are encouraged to come support them and display the posters you have created as well, from your previous or upcoming classes.

CSU Fullerton students will also be in attendance and are more than happy to carpool and split hotel costs. The conference should be a fun-filled and educational experience.

This conference offers an excellent opportunity to network with other geographers within our region, and provides a unique educational experience with presentations on the various subdisciplines of geography.
