Greetings all!
I hope this note finds you all in good health. I know it feels like summer break has barely started but THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE! This past weekend, a UCSD delegation went to the UCSA (University of California Student Association) board meeting in Santa Barbara to propose the UCSD bid, which has been in the works for several months. We were very lucky to beat out UCSB who had also wanted to host the conference.
Last year`s SOCC was held at UCLA, and it was the largest one yet with about 1,000 students in attendence. The UCSD delegation was the largest with 125 students and advisors. For the 21st SOCC to be held this year at UCSD, we are expecting 1,200 students! In order to do so, we need your help. Planning meetings are yet to be determined for the remainder of the summer and fall, but when I find out the times I hope you all will take the chance to be a part of this conference.
SOCC is one of the only times during the year when students from all over the UC system are able to come together and to learn from one another how they are improving student life and empowering each other on their own campuses. This conference is truly a remarkable feat as it is primarily a student-led and student-run venture meant to serve other students. If you were at last year`s conference, you will know how large of an impact it has on you. For me, going to SOCC helped me learn from other students what it meant to be a leader and what strategies I could apply to increase my learning and help spread that to my peers. If you were unable to go to the conference last year, I encourage you to ask someone who did. Chances are their experience was just as, if not more, enlightening.
This year will be the biggest and best-est SOCC ever and I hope that you choose to be a part of it! Email me with any questions at either matty.vu@gmail.com or at socc2009@gmail.com
I hope to hear from you soon <3
Peace. Love. Joy. Solidarity. Always.
Isang Mahal,

Thank you to everyone who came out to tonight’s GBM! I hope you all got a lot out of it and were able to (re)connect with people while discussing your hopes, fears, and future transitions.
At the end of GBM, we passed out a survey to see what you all think about KP and the work that we’ve done this year. This is really important because it will serve as the starting point for what KP Board 09-10 does, so please fill it out!

Enjoy the rest of your 9th week!
