Additional AO trip

Adventure Outings has added another trip for the fall semester: Carl Miller Yurt
Saturday - Sunday, Dec. 8 - 9

What in the world is a yurt? Who was Carl Miller and how did he end up with a yurt named after him? A yurt is a back-country hut complete with a wood stove to keep you warm at night. You’ll have to come to find out about Carl. The trek into the yurt is a little over a mile and is great for beginners and experts. If there’s snow you’ll be free to spend the day skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing. If not, numerous hikes within the Lassen National Forest are accessible. Or, if being outside isn’t your cup of tea then kick back and relax by the fireplace. Picture yourself, after a day in one of nature’s most beautiful wonderlands, sitting in a cozy yurt around the fire, sipping a cup of hot cocoa. The trip will leave Sat., Dec. 8 at 8am and return Sunday around 5pm.

Cost: Student: $35 General: $45

1-Unit Peer Mentor Course Offered in Spring

The Peer Mentor Program provides direct support to incoming first-year freshmen by giving these new students opportunities to talk and work with older, successful students at CSU, Chico. Peer Mentors assist with aspects of UNIV 101 courses, provide tours and activities for first-semester freshmen, host “Game Night,” and meet with students individually and in small groups to focus on practical problems that new students encounter.

All Peer Mentors must successfully complete a one-unit training course offered in the spring term. The time and day for the class is determined once prospective Peer Mentors have been chosen, based on the schedules of all students involved. Peer Mentors work during the fall term for five hours each week. This is paid work, with a full day of paid training just before school begins and a full day of paid training at mid-term in the spring semester (for Peer Mentors returning to the program in the following fall semester).

Applications are due Nov. 27. Applicants whom the program wishes to interview will be contacted by Dec. 3.

Contact Thia Wolf for more information.

Humanities Center Gallery in November: Peter Jodaitis, Drawn on Thirty-three/A Retrospective: 1974-2007

Nov. 6 - Dec. 19
Peter Jodaitis Drawn on Thirty-Three
Humanities Center Gallery, Trinity Hall, M-F 8-5 (closed Nov. 12, 22, and 23) Nov. 8
Reception 5-7pm (artist’s talk at 6)

Jodaitis writes: “The work in this exhibit covers the years from the making of what I consider my first ‘original’ drawing to the present. That first drawing, ‘A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’ taken from the Gabriel Garcia Marquez story, was done in 1974, thirty-three years ago, and is in a sense the beginning of this story.

“The paintings in the hall will represent a series I began in 2006 and continue to explore. Some pieces suggest images of petrified wood—and wood, along with the rest of nature, has good reason to be petrified in our mall-plagued, war-torn times. In the main room will be work from 1974 to 2007, which represents a number of the over thirty series I have produced since I began to work in series in the late 1970s. Difficult as it was for me to choose, and despite the inevitable space limitations in representing a large body of work, the exhibit will trace, albeit roughly, my trajectory through the space of art.”
