Community Announcements and Groups

 Dear Undocumented Students and Allies,
The Undocumented Student Services Center is here for you. The results of the election have caused much uncertainty and anxiety in our community and that is why I want to repeat: We are here for you.
Over the last couple of months I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you. You have shared with me your personal stories and dreams for the future. My goal since day one as coordinator of Undocumented Student Services is to ensure that those dreams become a reality. Although the President-elect has expressed his views and plans for the future, I believe there is the possibility of a different and better future for our country; a future that we will build together.
In California and throughout the nation, pro-immigrant leaders, many of whom are elected officials, have stated their commitment to ensure the immigrant community is protected from unjust policies proposed by the upcoming presidential administration. Many of these pro-immigrant leaders have pledged to use the full extent of their offices and influence to protect our communities. I want you to know that this office and UC San Diego are committed to supporting undocumented students in their pursuit of higher education. Undocumented Student Services does and will continue to:
- Provide you with a safe and welcoming space in which we will listen to your needs and seek solutions that address those needs.
- Facilitate access for you and your family to trusted immigration legal services. We understand that the proposed policies don't just affect you, but also your family.
- Minimize factors jeopardizing your education, so that graduation is your first priority.
- Work with our faculty, staff, and student body to ensure that we continue to promote our Principles of Community and embody them in the programming and services that we offer you.
Working together I am confident we will find the strength needed to continue to thrive in this country as students, families, and community.
Sincerely,
Daniel Arturo Alfaro Arellano
Coordinator
Undocumented Student Services

On Saturday, February 11th, 2017, UCSD's HMP3 is hosting the Medical Education for Diverse Students (MEDS) Conference at the Telemedicine Building!
This conference is designed for students that are interested in entering the medical and pharmaceutical fields. We are aware of the need of
professionals from diverse backgrounds in the healthcare system, who can identify with an even more diverse group of patients. Therefore, MEDS was created to close the disparities seen in both medical education and healthcare. Most importantly, MEDS now exists to serve the students - to encourage, educate and empower students on their road to a career in health.
MEDS is an all-day conference, where students will get to choose from diverse workshops and activities. Students will experience hands-on activities (such as suture clinic, simulation labs), in addition to workshops that will help students get the information they need to get into Medical/Pharmacy school.

The UCSD Department of Literature is now accepting campus submissions for The Ina Coolbrith Memorial Poetry Prize! Entries must be submitted to the Literature Undergraduate Office, Room 110 Literature Building, by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 8th, 2016.
The Ina Coolbrith Memorial Poetry Prize is awarded for the best unpublished poem or group of poems by an undergraduate student at the University of California campuses, University of the Pacific, Mills College, Stanford University, Santa Clara University and St. Mary's College. The prize was established by friends of Ina Coolbrith, former Poet Laureate for California. Approximately $1500 is available annually for prizes, to be apportioned by the judging campus.
Entries must be typed, with only the last four digits of the entrant's PID and the name of the contest (Coolbrith) printed at the top of each page-with no other identifying information, please. A cover sheet will be attached to each set of poems (1-3 poems per person may be submitted). Cover sheets can be picked up in the Literature Undergraduate Office (Room 110 of the Literature Building).

Frat parties mocking Black History Month, homophobic slurs, anti-Mexican graffiti on campus, and sexual harassment...these reoccurring events affect ALL students, underrepresented or not, and demonstrate the need for a conversation about student experiences related to the campus climate at UC San Diego. Join the conversation and submit your creative work!
The UC San Diego Library is creating a "living archive" as an alternative way to highlight awareness, provide a space for dialogue, and preserve and document events related to UC San Diego history. A living archive is a collection of materials presented in a way that allows for the expression, exhibition, documentation, and preservation of a sentiment or movement in a particular community. This type of "archiving" is "living" because it is constantly updated with the current climate and consists of all manner of expression from documents of the past, to creative expression through art, to real-time feedback of the current period.
We want YOU to be a part of the Living Archive. What do you have to say or express about the current climate at UCSD?
The physical exhibit will run from February 1 - March 31, 2016 in Geisel Library, with a permanent online collection of submissions. Deadline for submissions is November 30th and you must be enrolled as a current UCSD student. Paintings, drawings, collages, prints, sculptures, photographs, performance art, written work, video or film are welcome!
