The Department would also like to recognize the following invitées of equal merit, who unfortunately could not attend the lunch in their honor.
The Department is extremely proud of all of you and glad we could help you meet your academic goals. We wish you and all graduating students the very best in life and invite you to please stay in touch with the Department.
Dr. Irisita Azary organized this talk (with funding provided by the College of Liberal Arts) and notes that Mr. Weir was her very first M.A. student, back when she was lecturing at San Diego State University,
She reports that Mr. Weir is also going to talk to prospective graduate students at 6-7 that day and give them the skinny on applying for graduate school (and surviving the whole experience!). That talk will be held in LA4 100. Be there or be square!
This presentation was co-sponsored by the Department of Geography and the German Studies Program at CSU Long Beach. Instrumental in bringing Dr. Schulz here was Tom Frazier, is one of our own geography master's students (who did his thesis on the fall of the Berlin Wall), who is now working for his Ph.D. in geography under Dr. Schulz's direction at Humboldt-Universität.
The meeting was held Wednesday, 29 March 2000, 7 p.m., at the Peck Park Community Center in San Pedro. You can get more information by calling (310) 833-8628 or e-mailing Jan Olsen.
The three graduate students started a project on all local hazards, whether natural, technological, or human, to be found in the San Pedro area in Dr. Ben Wisner's seminar in hazards last year. Their project has continued to grow and develop since then and they organized a community meeting at which to present their findings.
Other speakers included representatives from the City of Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Division, the Los Angeles Disaster Preparedness Unit, the CERT Program of the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Los Angeles Police Department's Harbor Division, the Los Angeles Fire Department's San Pedro Fire Station, and the American Red Cross.
The meeting was sponsored by the San Pedro Organizing Committee and the South Bay Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Department is very proud that three of its graduate students worked so hard to exemplify the spirit of University service to the larger community.
My feeling is that, if all you learn at a university is what you learn in the formal classroom, then you have not received the best education possible. CSULB President Robert C. Maxson

Ms. Eileen Johansen is deeply missed by many, and the Department of Geography is very proud to host a scholarship to perpetuate her memory and help other students struggling to complete their educations.

Two versions of the map are planned. The maps will show CSULB and indicate high school districts, individual high schools, and their distances from CSULB with the use of 5-mile concentric rings. The locations of CSU Fullerton and CSU Dominguez Hills will also be shown for reference. In addition, the first version will include the number of first time freshman enrollees for Fall 1999, and the second will include Stanford 9 scores and the percentage of AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) population for each school.
