#MeetTheStar Instructor Paul Gullixson! ⭐️📰
Paul has been the Faculty Advisor to the STAR for four years, and is also the Editorial Director at the Press Democrat! Over his career he's interviewed past presidents, governors, senators, and even Hall of Fame baseball players. He was at the 1989 World Series game when the earthquake hit and ended up reporting on the damage at Candlestick Park! Reflecting on his eight semesters as an Instructor, Paul says his favorite thing is seeing the pride students take away from putting together their own campus newspaper.
We couldn't do it without you Paul, thanks for being awesome! ✨

The @ssusapphires perform at their annual spring show at Person Theater 🔥💃🏼

Foods like fish and eggs can actually bolster your brain while studying and ensure you perform to the best of your abilities! 🍳🥗🐟 Happy studying!

Finals week is quickly approaching, and we need all the help we can get! Stay tuned for updates on how to stay productive during this crucial weekend! First tip--don't forget that Schulz has a 24 hour computer lab you can use at any time.
