LETTER FROM THE<br />

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />

Will it really get better? I can’t help but have high expectations for<br />

2011 and there’s no denying that the social challenges students are<br />

confronted with have increased. That is why I have zoomed our focus<br />

away from an entertaining cover to one that would make U think a little<br />

harder about how you treat yourself and others.<br />

I strongly encourage U to take time out of your busy schedule to engage<br />

in one of our programs that challenge your assumptions or provoke your<br />

mind. I have witnessed the impact our programs have had in advancing<br />

social justice and improving the lives of people. Our dedicated and<br />

hardworking staff has worked diligently in expanding existing programs and<br />

inventing new ones to encourage U to think about your role here at CSULA!<br />

The U-SU Calendar is ALWAYS changing. I am on a quest to push our<br />

boundaries a bit further and deliver something unexpected every time. I<br />

am sure you have noticed and I hope that this calendar will resonate with U!<br />

I can’t stop looking at the cover and what it<br />

means to not speak out on these important<br />

issues. I hope you feel the same and do your<br />

part to make it better for people from all<br />

walks of life!<br />

A TALK By DR. MICHAEL DUMAS<br />

4:30 pm » Los Angeles Room AB<br />

3rd floor, <strong>University</strong>-<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Union</strong><br />

Dr. Michael Dumas, assistant professor<br />

of Social and Cultural Analysis of<br />

Education at California State <strong>University</strong>,<br />

Long Beach, argues that the absence<br />

of Black boys in the public imagination<br />

of childhood and in popular and<br />

academic discussions of Black males<br />

and masculinity have rendered Black<br />

boyhood both unimagined and<br />

unimaginable. How come it is so<br />

difficult for us to imagine young Black boys as children who<br />

giggle, play, and daydream, who have their own stories to tell,<br />

and form their own unique views of the world? Dr. Dumas will<br />

discuss the concept of Black boyhood, and help us think about<br />

what it takes to truly see and be seen by Black boys.<br />
