California High Schools to Compete in Global Social Enterprise Competition
Student teams from 17 high schools across California will compete in the sixth annual Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) tournament in Sacramento this Saturday, April 26. The top four teams advancing from the preliminary round will repeat their multimedia presentations before a panel of over 120 leaders from academia, nonprofit organizations and the business sector, who will judge in the afternoon.
The program’s founder, Curt DeBerg, a business professor at California State University, Chico, said that SAGE is successful because of its similarity to sporting events. “Just like when high school teams compete inter-scholastically on the sporting fields, the SAGE structure allows high school teams to compete with other schools based on the creativity of their socially-responsible businesses.”
High school SAGE teams will be judged on entrepreneurship, community outreach, civic engagement, environmental responsibility, use of college mentors and use of a business advisory board. Following a 15-minute presentation, the judges will challenge the presenters for five minutes as they ask questions relating to the project criteria.
The complete news release is available online.

May 6
Jules and Jim (1962, France) 104 min. Directed by Francois Truffaut. Introduced by Laird Easton, History and Humanities Center Board.
Hailed as one of the finest films ever made, legendary director François Truffaut’s early masterpiece charts the relationship between two friends and the object of their mutual obsession over the course of twenty-five years. Jeanne Moreau stars as Catherine, the alluring and willful young woman whose enigmatic smile and passionate nature lure Jules (Oskar Werner) and Jim (Henri Serre) into one of cinema’s most captivating romantic triangles. An exuberant and poignant meditation on freedom, loyalty, and the fortitude of love, Jules and Jim was a worldwide smash upon its release in 1962 and remains as audacious and entrancing today.
