Health & Wellness Workshop
Have you ever struggled mentally or emotionally but felt too ashamed to reach out for help? You are not alone - 1 out of 5 adults will have a diagnosable mental illness in their lifetime. Although mental health is so important, we rarely talk about it with friends, family members, or in our communities. Let's change that! Come participate in this presentation to discuss the importance of mental health and highlight how together we can change our campus community to be more supportive of your mental health!

Policing Proof: Korryn Gaines, Body Cameras, and Anti-Blackness as a Scene
Date: September 14, 2022
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
Location: via Zoom
This talk considers the killing of Korryn Gaines by the Baltimore County SWAT team in 2016, in the context of social media sites deactivating Gaines accounts as she tried to livestream the events. I consider how especially since the 1990s, racialized-gendered notions of documentation, culpability, and proof have played an integral role in legitimizing state-sanctioned harm.

Location: In-Person SB Room 306
Health & Wellness Workshop
Some of our friends, family members, and peers struggle with emotional pain. And, for some, it's too difficult to talk about the pain, share their thoughts of suicide, and let others know their need for help. Through the warning signs can be subtle, they are there. By recognizing these signs, knowing how to start a conversation and where to turn for help, you have the power to make a difference - the power to save a life. Attend to learn the signs!

Police Reform and Federal Consent Decrees, Dr. Zachary Powell, CSUSB
Date: September 21, 2022
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
Location: via Zoom
Join us for a presentation and discussion with Dr. Zachary Powell, Assistant Professor in CSUSB's Criminal Justice Department.
Police Reform has been, and will continue to be, an issue of grave importance in the United States. Each year, society learns of multiple instances of unconstitutional law enforcement practices that irreparably harm lives of many people. Despite the clear need to reform law enforcement agencies in America, efforts to do so often fall short. However, the federal government possesses the power to force police departments to reform in certain situations. This power, mobilized through consent decrees, has received renewed attention and use under the Biden administration. This talk will provide an overview of the federal consent decree process and its impact on law enforcement today.
