Dear Community! The Multicultural Immigrant Student Program (MISP) is looking for new interns for the academic year of 2013-2014! MISP is a program created through collaboration with the Chican@ Latin@ Student Development and the Asian Pacific American Student Development Offices. The interns work on different projects each year to create programming, events, organizations, and more in order to help and empower immigrant and AB 540/undocumented students on campus. Projects vary vastly and we welcome all kinds of work and creativity.

Student Alumni Relations Council would like to congratulate Cal seniors on graduating! They've worked hard for their degrees, and we would like to celebrate with them at The Last Grrr-rah, a catered "party" event for graduating seniors and young alumni, as a way of unofficially welcoming them to the young alumni family. Our caterer is Tacos Sinaloa, East Bay’s #1 rated taco truck, which will be parked on-site to provide delicious tacos. There will also be margaritas to celebrate the upcoming festive occasions (Cinco de Mayo AND graduation). Students can register at http://bit.ly/lastgrrrrah . An ID is required for alcoholic beverages, and dress code is smart casual. Please extend this invitation to all seniors. Thank you!

Because graduation is coming up, the Student Technology Council would like to reach our seniors to take advantage of downloading free and useful resources such as Adobe and Microsoft software (along with other programs, such as an upgrade to Windows 8), that they will not be able to access for free once they graduate. Many graduated seniors have already complained about having missed out on this opportunity, so we hope to reach students now before the influx of graduation emails. All of the information is on stc.berkeley.edu

How has globalization affected the formation of personal identity? What are ways English is used in a bilingual’s language repertoire? What do current uses of English in local and global contexts suggest for the teaching of English? Questions such as these will be fully explored in the course.
