Just a quick message to say "Chukrane" (shoo-krahn) to all of the cool people who came out to make our Fall '12 Welcome dinner at Asha such a good time. We had so much fun, in fact, nobody thought to take pictures. But, it happened, with lots of couscous and hummus and kafta.
Don't miss out on our meetings this week: tomorrow (Tuesday) at 12:30pm in PH1-230, then again at 5pm on Wednesday in PH1-222. Also, we're paying a visit to LACMA this Friday at 5! Stay tuned for more info.
Play us off, Nass el-Ghiwane. [wait for it...]

Week of Welcome Fall '12
Hey, all y'all, We are going to be "tabling" at the CSULB Week of Welcome for the Fall Semester, starting tomorrow at 11am until 2pm, and then again on Thursday from 11am until 2pm.
Not sure WHERE exactly we'll be, but look out for the maps and gigantic hot pink GSA sign that Zach Morris would have totally thought was cool.
Come by and hang out, talk to interested students who wander by, and learn about some other good organizations. If you're available to sit at the table during those timespan(s), please let us know at csulbgsa@gmail.com
Thanks!

Welcome to Fall 2012 from your Friendly Neighborhood GSA
New year at CSULB, new building for the Geography department, and more! Big new things are happening here, and we would love more than anything for you (yes, you) to be a part of it all.
Our first meetings of the semester are going to be on Tuesday, 12:30pm in a room that's going to be assigned soon, and Wednesday at 5:30pm in PH1-222. So, mark your calendars and bring some ideas for restaurants to eat at, places around SoCal to explore, and a bunch of pretty pictures from your summer travels to share. More details soon.
Also, for you conference-heads, we're going to start posting a bunch of CFPs (that's Calls for Papers) on this site for you guys. AAG is going down in LA in the spring, so that's pretty big right there. Anyway, like we said, more coming soon.
YEAH!!
Here's a video someone made for the band Geographer's song "Paris" with a background of New York, because the song's just that good it doesn't even need to match the visual.

1) Bolsa Chica Wetland Hike this Saturday at 10:00am

I have attached a google map of the location, you can park for free behind the Jack in the Box on the corner of PCH and Warner and walk over or park at your own risk in the shopping center across the street. We will head to Julias house after the hike for some light refreshments and intellectual conversion afterwards.
2) Cultural Night at Udupi Palace Artesia CA
Mark your calender for December 4th, thats the night for some kick butt indian food. We should plan on getting there at 7pm, we will arrange carpools as the date gets closer. Feel free to bring a guest it will be funn ( thats fun with 2 n's ).
3) End of semester Pot Luck/Beer Luck
The date has not been officially set but it will be December 15th or 16th so be prepared! Please start thinking of what you would like to bring and we will arrange a sign up sheet at our next meetings. Also if you want to do a particular theme let us know your ideas.
4) Charity Event - Christmas Toy Drive
We have decided to do a toy drive this year and we will have flyers to promote the event by the next meeting as well as all other important info, keep it the back of your mind if you see a cool toy while yore out and about pick it up and donate!
5) Tee-shirt Design Contest
Send us you ideas and or designs for our next GSA tee-shirt. Any ideas are welcome but keep in mind you will be wearing them! Basic designs work best, simple slogans or images are ideal.
