3:15 pm • Chicana/o Latina/o
Student Resource Center
Join the Chicana/o Latina/o Student Resource Center
for a screening of Which Way Home, a film that shows
the personal side of immigration through the eyes of
children who face harrowing dangers with enormous
courage and resourcefulness as they endeavor to make
it to the U.S. Directed by Rebecca Cammisa, 2009, 83
minutes.
The film draws the viewer into one artist’s profound
meditation on the power of music and the impact of
political engagement-both individual and collective. A
hopeful and compelling portrait of a continent whose
politically aware youth is refusing to accept the role of
victim, the film is a call for Africans to rise up, take a stand
and take control of their continent and their destiny.
Directed by Yanick Letourneau, 2012, 75 minutes.

FORUM ON GENDERED VIOLENCE
8 am – 6 pm • San Gabriel Room
Gendered violence — both interpersonal (e.g., domestic
violence) and institutional (e.g., the prison-industrial
complex) — is structured and reproduced through
interlocking systems of oppression. At this forum, through
presentations by academics, activists, community members,
and students, we will examine the relationships between
violence, gender, race, class, and sexuality, in order to raise
awareness, brainstorm solutions, and build resistance.

IN CONVERSATION WITH ANGELA DAVIS AND TIM WISE:
Angela Davis and Tim Wise, two of the leading racial and social justice scholar-activists, engage in a rare,
unscripted, and free range conversation in this documentary on the state of contemporary politics, our culture’s
uncritical embrace of pervasive individualism, the myth of meritocracy, and entrenched institutional inequality.
Directed by Victor Lee Lewis, 2012, 78 minutes.

Lean in and listen up.
Say these words slowly. Refine. Refocus. Reimagine.
Now apply these words to your desires, be they personal, academic, or professional,
and decide just how you’re going to do what you say you want to do. How you’re going
to rise. How you’re going to expand your life and your possibilities. Now look your
desires in the eye. Don’t blink.

Winter quarter is here and its natural time of reflection seems at odds with the world
we live in today. We have Facebook friendships, we Tumblr and Instagram, and Tweet
our lives in 140 characters or less. We live our lives in the instant ether of cyberspace.
Luckily, nature hasn’t gone high tech and winter quarter is a natural pause for us to
refine, refocus and reimagine.
MIGUEL JUAN
To help with that process, the talented University-Student Union staff listed below
present this quarter’s calendar of events filled with many opportunities for you take
on. Refine your leadership skills through any of the workshops and seminars offered
or refine your understanding of the world by engaging in diverse dialogue. Refocus
your energy by participating in social programs or refocus your health habits by
taking fitness classes. Reimagine your college experience by challenging yourself to
explore new interests, try new things, and make new connections.
RHONDA MITCHELL
Fall quarter is in the bag. The knowledge we acquired in our classes, and the
programs and resources offered by the U-SU, helped inform our decisions, we were
involved, we took a stand.
Every quarter comes and goes and with it missed opportunities. Be it your first or last
winter quarter at CSULA, the University-Student Union invites you to Refine, Refocus,
and Reimagine your campus experience and move closer toward what you desire.
