SDSU at your service

San Diego State University has introduced a one-stop online venue offering nearly 200 free or low-cost community services. Through the new C2C (Campus to Community) Web site, solutions for parents, students, schools, businesses and nonprofit organizations are just a click away at http://c2c.sdsu.edu.

“The vast array of programs in the C2C directory demonstrates the commitment of our faculty, students and staff to helping the region,” said SDSU President Stephen L. Weber. “It’s another example of San Diego State’s value to the San Diego community.”

The Web site was the brainchild of Lena T. Rodriguez, Weber’s assistant for executive affairs. “SDSU has an inherent commitment to service that truly is extraordinary, but I did not realize the sheer scope of SDSU’s community outreach,” said Rodriguez, a former SDSU business professor and founder of the university’s Hispanic and Ethnic Entrepreneurship Initiative.

Funded by the President’s Leadership Fund and a matching grant from QUALCOMM Incorporated, graduate students Hassan Ghauri and Chinapong Saongchan designed the database and infrastructure for C2C, with guidance from a team of SDSU staff. The C2C logo is the work of undergraduate art major Rachel Inopiquez.

Among the many C2C programs available, Web site visitors can find student volunteers, enroll in the university’s Community Music School or apply for library research privileges.

Parents can find tutors, car seats, testing and services for children with disabilities. The university’s psychology clinic offers sessions for children and adults beginning at just $10 each, with a sliding fee scale based on income. Services at SDSU’s renowned audiology clinic are also priced on a sliding fee system.

In addition, C2C features services for groups and organizations. Nonprofits can find consulting help through the Social Entrepreneur Internship Program. Businesses can hire engineering or hospitality and tourism interns.

And all of this is only the beginning. “We anticipate adding listings every month to this terrific new resource linking our campus to our community,” Rodriguez said.

URBAC members include Hans-Dieter Sues, associate director for research and collections at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History; Noel Morris, Chris King and David Ward with London’s Natural History Museum and the University of Greenwich in Britain; Yuri Chikin with the Zoological Institute in Tashkent; and Igor Danilov, Anton Resvyi and Alexi Abramov with St. Petersburg University and the Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Because every member of the team has a different specialty, their combined knowledge enriches each individual field of research. “But we all learn from Dave Archibald,” said Danilov, URBAC member and a student in 1996 when Archibald taught at St. Petersburg University on a Fulbright grant. “He is a professor “There is the sense that we are in the real sense of the word.

Future Profession: By Degrees I would like to be a film producer.

SDSU degree: B.S. in television, film and new media

Why did you choose San Diego State? I did not choose State. State chose me. I originally applied to several UC (University of California) schools. They lost my application, but they did not forget to cash my check before losing it. So I said; “It must be destiny. San Diego State here I come.”

How did you get involved in Associated Students? I was involved in A.S.B. in high school, and when I came to State, I had the same passion to make a difference. I joined the Freshman Leadership Connection and, from there, I found my calling to be in student government. Since my initial taste of A.S., I have been addicted to all aspects of SDSU life.

What do you like about A.S.? I like that I can be a voice to and for the students. The ability to lead students to success is a thrill. “One day I had an epiphany and Who on campus has had the greatest influence on you?
