Cultural Arts Board

"The mission of the Cultural Arts board is to promote, support, and expand cultural activities and to help integrate them into the lives of our campus and community"

The Cultural Arts Board is responsible for coordinating the majority of cultural events on campus.  Some examples from past years include:

Events

Lucha la Libre — a play performed by drama students from the San Diego campus, directed by Peter Cirino, in Rodney Auditorium, April 2006
Mexican Mosaic — a musical and theater performance by the Border Players, directed by Bill Hodge, in Rodney Auditorium,  Oct/Nov 2006
Poetry Reading — by Paul Lopez, reading from his book of poems, Death of a Mexican, in February 2007 at the Calexico and Brawley campus sites; sponsored by Semantics Humanities Enrichment
Sculpture Exhibit — by artist Jim Sloman, in Mar//Apr 2007 sponsored by Steppling Art Gallery on campus

The board helps oversee a variety of events during Explore SDSU, the annual campus open house.  Coming in March 2008, clarinetist Marian Liebowitz will perform in concert in Rodney Auditorium.

This committee was founded in spring 2005.  Current members of the board are faculty Dr. Lasisi Ajaya and Dr. Carlos Herrera; Assistant Dean for Student Affairs  Miguel Rahiotis; staff members Sheila Dollente, Monica Cortez, Rosa Del Angel and Norma Aguilar; Associated Student representatives Marie Victa and Liz Torres; and ex-officio member Dr, Stephen Roeder, Dean of the Imperial Valley Campus.  Contact any board member if you wish to sponsor an event on campus.
