It seems as if University of California President, Mark Yudof, has finally found some support. After coming under harsh criticism for months on end for his proposed increase in tuition and recent faculty lay-offs, Yudof found comfort at Sunnyside High School in Fresno, California.

Alexis Kim is obsessed with food. Real food, that is. As the current co-chair of Students for Sustainability, she hopes to see more of it on the UCI campus. It’s a part of the group’s mission: a sustainable future.

Zimbabowie, my rainbow Gnorbu, is very special to me. After a long day of class, work and social engagements, Zimbabowie is my patient and kind companion. He watches me with that bright grin of his while I lay an extensive pipe system to deliver juice to thirsty Meepits.
