To All Members of the Campus Community:
I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of another school year at Sacramento State. The semester is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory.
I want to invite all members of the campus community to a University Convocation on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 20.
One of the recommendations from our last convocation in February was that we build on our success with future convocations, and we have another productive day planned. The Oct. 20 event will feature Michele Norris, author of this year’s One Book selection and host of NPR’s All Things Considered. Her keynote address at 1:30 p.m. will be followed by discussion groups and a campus reception. All events will take place in the University Union, and final times and room numbers will be available soon.
University policy permits the cancellation of class meetings during the convocation to promote faculty and staff involvement, and students may not be penalized for class absences if they attend. Faculty who cancel classes or office hours to attend should follow normal procedures for alerting their department of such cancellations. Students who elect to attend the convocation instead of class should inform their instructor in advance, and as always, staff wishing to attend should consult with their supervisors.
Once again, I want to thank the faculty members and University Advancement staff who are making the event such a success for everyone on campus. To better reflect the commitment we have made as a University to the ideals of fostering community, the committee recommended renaming itself the President’s Committee to Build Campus Unity. I accepted this recommendation because I want everyone to be aware of the importance of the goals of this endeavor. The members of the committee are Dean Vanessa Sheared of the College of Education, Don Taylor from Academic Affairs and professors Kimo Ah Yun, Margarita Berta-Avila, Tim Fong, Janet Hecsh, Greg Mark and Steve Perez.
In regard to Athletics, our football team’s win last Saturday against Oregon State is generating a lot of buzz for our University across the nation. I congratulate the student athletes, coaches and staff members who worked very hard to achieve this milestone victory.
As evidence of the excitement, tomorrow’s away game against Southern Utah at noon will now be televised. For details about how to watch or listen, click here.
We are anticipating larger crowds when the Hornets make their home debut Sept. 24 against the University of Montana, so I encourage faculty and staff to take advantage of our discounted season ticket package. Season tickets for all five home games are still available for $50 and may be obtained by calling 278-2222. Individual game tickets are available by calling the Sac State Ticket Office at 278-4323.
Students can continue to attend games for free by presenting a valid One Card at Gate 3 of Hornet Stadium beginning two hours before game time. I also encourage students to join the Green Army, our student booster group. Information on the Green Army is available at http://www.jointhegreenarmy.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Yesterday, I signed a memorandum of understanding with Sunchon National University in South Korea. This agreement is part of our work to foster academic and student exchanges with overseas campuses. These efforts can increase cultural appreciation at Sacramento State and create rewarding study-abroad opportunities for our students.
I also want to let the faculty know that there will be some limited funding available from University Enterprises, Inc., for faculty travel and development. The amount available and how to apply will appear soon in the Monday Briefing.
Finally, I want everyone to be aware of an important technology security issue. Some members of our campus have received “phishing” emails designed to steal login names and passwords.
Providing such information to unauthorized sources can expose private data – both the University’s and that of faculty, staff and students – to criminals. Do not respond to any suspicious emails, and please forward them to Information Resources and Technology at [email protected]. If you have questions about whether an email is genuine, please review the information on suspicious emails at http://www.csus.edu/phishing" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or contact the Service Desk at 278-7337.
IRT will never request your password or personal information via e-mail, and official broadcast emails from campus will usually have a known “sent from” address. Entering known email addresses into your browser by hand is always preferable to clicking on an unknown web url.
I wish everyone a great weekend, and thank you for your contributions to our campus.
Sincerely,
Alexander Gonzalez
President
