Hey There-

Hope everybody is doing good...Mondays are always hard! I just wanted to give you guys a quick reminder that our first meeting will be TOMORROW at 7pm, if you haven't yet please e-mail me (sdsugoesred@live.com) for directions! It should be a fun quick info meeting about (RED) and what we are trying to do at SDSU. There will be food and it will be good way to meet some people. I will send out a reminder e-mail tonight or tomorrow morning.

I found this on the Join(RED) Blog and thought that I would pass it on. It's good to keep up not only with (RED) but with programs such as ONE that is closely related to what we are trying to do. Click on the link to get the video (unfortunatly it wouldn't load on here!). Enjoy!

First Meeting! (finally!)

Hey guys-

Hope classes are going well for everyone...it feels like we have been here so much longer than a month! So our first meeting is offically planned because I finally got clearance from Student Activites to table hopefully by October 6th. The meeting will be on Tuesday September 30th at 7pm at my apartment (email me for directions!). It will probably take around an hour, and please feel free to bring your friends, roomates or whoever. It will just be a low key info session about (RED) and how it works, and how you can help. If I have your e-mail I will be sending out an info e-mail about the meeting and another reminder one a few days before.

It should be really fun, so come and meet some cool people and get involved in something really great!! Please e-mail me with any questions or concerns, and if you cant make it then let me know so we can set up another time to talk!! Have an awesome rest of your week guys!

Good News!

Hello There!

Finally some progress! I recently got into contact with a group on campus called Aztecs for Africa which is a well established student org that works with groups like Invisible Children, UNICEF and the Global Fund to help issues currently affecting Afrcia. When I told them about (RED) they seemed amped to help out, so hopefully some collaboration will come out of that and we can finally start getting to work!! Check them out on Facebook -

A Little Diffuculty!

Hello all!

This blog is coming at you at midnight...oh the college life!! Unfortunatly I have not gotten our group up and running for a few reasons. I am having some trouble with the Student Activites and Campus Life Board because they feel that because (RED) is commercial we won't get approved to be a student org. Bummer. But I am working on getting approved to be a vendor and hopefully we can get a space on campus to table and reach out to our fellow students. So it's progressing!! I will keep you all updated and as soon as I hear back I will be sure to post...

In the meantime keep up with the Join(RED) website, which has been relaunched and looks awesome!! Here's a little video I found on the (RED) blog that I thought I would pass on...



Keep changing the world Staters!!

Waiting on the world.

Hey all-
Next week of classes...yay! I found this video on the Join(RED) you tube channel and I thought it was something cool to pass on. Keep in mind that this is an older vido, there are now 12 partners and we have raised over $110 million...and counting!!



More info to come later this week about SDSU's (RED), and also if I received an e-mail from you, then you should be hearing from me in the next couple of days! Keep shopping (RED)!!

Help Me Out!!

Hey guys!

Hope you made it through the first week of classes...for those of you who are new students it does settle down after a while, the first couple of days are always crazy! We will get started soon with (RED) but in the meantime if you guys could go to the link below and take the survey that would be awesome. We are trying to get an idea of what our representation on campus is prior to our group being here. Also, if you guys could spread the word, tell your friends, roomates, classmates, study buddies...everyone!! We want to get a large sampling so we make sure to get accurate results..

More info to come next week about our progress with (RED)...as always feel free to e-mail me!

Hope to meet you all soon!!

Back to the grind...

Hey Everyone-

Hope you all are enjoying your Labor Day Weekend, and for those of you living on campus move in weekend! I can't believe that classes start tomorrow, another year of school is about to begin...crazy! I am still not sure as to when the first (RED) meeting will be, probably next week or three weeks from now. I have to settle some things with the Student Activites and Campus Life board and make sure that we can form a (RED) student organization. After I get those details sorted out I will settle on a date and let you all know by e-mail. If you are interested in getting involved and haven't e-mailed me at sdsugoesred@live.com then please do!! I will make sure to post the date on here as well.

As far as (RED) news, the new Gap collection is in stores!! I encourage you all to check it out next time you are at the mall or bumming around online. Here is a little preview-

Good luck to everyone with classes tomorrow!! And as always feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments..
