The Gender Equity Center will hold its first Gender Symposium on Saturday, May 19 on campus. Its the first of what the center
plans to make an annual event. This year, the symposium will focus on exploring gender and how it relates to and intersects
with religion, race and culture. Dr. Jason Laker, professor of Counselor Education at San Jose State University, will be the
keynote speaker. Cal Poly students, faculty and staff members will facilitate workshops and panel discussions. Participation is
limited to the first 90 registrants, so reserve your space now. To register or for more information about the event, visit the
Gender Equity Center online or contact Nick Bilich at nbilich@calpoly.edu.
Cal Poly's Gender Equity Center will present "Phallacies - The Bro Code" from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, May 7 in Chumash
Auditorium. "Phallacies" is a men's health dialogue and theater program created through the Center for Health Promotion
at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The program uses theater and comedy skits to portray different aspects
and stereotypes associated with masculinity, and to encourage a more positive and encompassing expression of masculine
identity. The Bro Code is an assumed list of rules among some men. Through monologues and skits, Phallacies aims to use
comedy to show the ridiculousness of such rules and raise awareness about the negative impact the Bro Code has on men
and society. Phallacies seeks to create a Cal Poly community where individuals can be themselves, without feeling
constrained by laws restricting one's behavior.

candidate, and those who recommended him for the award said he is a well-respected leader who

also won recognition in the regional and state competitions sponsored by the Western Association of
Student Employment Administrators (WASEA). This is the second consecutive year Cal Poly's outstanding
student employee also won both state and regional awards.

SAN LUIS OBISPO - Cal Poly's Week of Welcome orientation program had 44 student leaders
donate their time to the San Luis Obispo community January 28 in the program's annual Team
Day of Service event.
The Day of Service is organized every quarter to establish connections and showcase the
student leaders' dedication to the community. The Week of Welcome program teaches
orientation leaders and incoming students that they are not only Cal Poly students, but also
members of this community. The Day of Service event illustrates this philosophy.
WOW Executive Board member and Campus and Community Relations Committee Co-chair
Bryanna Lindgren says, "We're fortunate to have a group of students who are so excited about
community service. They love having the opportunity to step away from Cal Poly life and put
their efforts into something meaningful that will help improve the community. We love the work
we do and we have fun doing it!"
The Week of Welcome program is looking forward to many more community service projects,
all coordinated through Cal Poly Student Community Services. According to the California
average for the value of a volunteer dollar, each leader saved $23.29 an hour, thus with three
hours of community service, the group is expected to save $3,740 in services.
For more information, contact Jason, assistant coordinator of Cal Poly's Orientation Programs,

September 25, 2011 Poly students a delight
On Sept. 15, Hospice of SLO County had the honor of working with 30-plus students from Cal Poly. Through
the Week of Welcome program, these students went through the city doing community service projects. Because
we are a volunteer hospice organization and have a small staff, HospiceSLO had quite a to-do list for our
office/house...
