Now that summer is swiftly approaching, it is the perfect time for the Seawolves to discover more of Sonoma County. The Barlow, which is located in Sebastopol, offers a variety of activities to partake in. On May 7, an event known as “Head West” welcomed small businesses and local organizations creating an outdoor marketplace. Patrons were able to browse freely through the market to discover what participating businesses had to offer at their own pace.

On April 22, the HUB Cultural Center put on Native Fest, a celebration of Native

American and Indigenous culture. This event welcomed around 13 different Native

organizations to SSU to discuss their programs and what they do for the community.

There was also live music from Sonoma State’s own Paul Steward, who has been a Native

American Studies professor at SSU since 2016.

With finals slowly approaching, and students looking for ways to destress, Sonoma State’s getaway trips offer a way to do just that. On April 16, students had the opportunity to experience shopping in Union Square. This event was put on by Student Involvement at SSU.

If you're looking for a new spot to chill and hangout with friends, Crooked Goat Brewing may be the place for you. They are located in Sebastopol, adjacent to the shopping mall called The Barlow. At Crooked Goat Brewing you can listen to some live music, enjoy some tasty foods and have drinks with family or friends if you're over 21.

In honor of Trans Week of Visibility the HUB Cultural Center screened the documentary “Screaming Queens”. This film discussed the very first transgender riot that took place in a part of San Francisco known as the Tenderloin in 1966. Many are unaware that the Compton Cafeteria riot took place three years prior to the widely known Stonewall riots. The HUB showed this film to educate students on this lesser known event, as it is integral to understanding the ongoing battle against trans discrimination.

On March 16, Sonoma State welcomed famous comedian Sasheer Zamata to campus. This event was put on by ASP, Associated Student Production, and was located on the third floor of the student center in Ballroom D. In honor of Women's History Month, Zamata’s set focused on feminism and female experiences in society.

Zamata is well known for writing and starring in shows like “Home Economics”, “Woke,” and “Saturday Night Live.”
