SFSU Career Workshop
By SFSU Koinonia
Did you know that some studies show that communication is 83% nonverbal/visual and 11% is hearing and the rest is other? So if you're tempted to wear your great grandfather's green polka-dotted corduroy suit then you'd better make some time for this workshop! We're presenting a career workshop for all of you graduates, soon-to-be graduates, and well... everyone actually! So come and learn and get actual experience in being interviewed, how to write a resume, get some tips on what to wear or what to ask (yes, it's an important interview tip to always ask questions!). Need some pointers on your cover letter? Or maybe you don't even have one, don't worry, this workshop is here to help you out. So make sure to signup for this below! Loading...

Friday Recap and Year End Stuff
By SFSU Koinonia
Last Friday we got a chance to celebrate several birthdays as well as take walk through memory lane with Jeannie and see all the people she has impacted over the years. We also got a chance to wish the graduating seniors all the best as they prepare transition to working life and other ministries. All in all it was a nice break from finals and a chance for people to just relax and play some board games. As usual, the photo gallery is posted below. Also, here is the year end slideshow and the thank you sharing from the students to Joe and Annie in case you missed it or wanted to watch it again. Enjoy!

SFSU Break from Finals!
By SFSU Koinonia | 8 comments
Hey guys, just wanted to wish everyone good luck with their finals! We know it's tough studying all day so hang in there! If you need a quick break, feel free to check out some of the videos below :). This was a video that was made during the road trip over spring break. It was never released because the person who was supposed to edit this video completely forgot (whether on purpose or not, I leave that up to you). Please note that this video is not for the faint of heart so if you're experiencing heart or health problems, please skip this video and move to the more ridiculous video below. Here is a random video from our video scavenger hunt and the category wasn't very specific (the brother in charge apologizes profusely) but at least one good video came out of this. We at SFSU Koinonia understand that the translation and subtitles are not completely accurate. In fact, it's completely off because our local video editor doesn't know a thing about Spanish and no script was provided so this was translated into literal actions or whatever he wanted. If you want a proper translation, ask one of our Spanish speakers to explain or maybe they can comment on this blog with a proper translation... Anyways, enjoy the videos :)

SFSU Senior Friday Recap
By SFSU Koinonia
Last Friday, SF State got to join our Berkeley counterparts and feast on some incredible Korean BBQ. It was some awesome bbq. We then got to hear the stories of several seniors and how God led them from the very beginning to their decisions to stay and serve. It was a wonderful time as we got to pray, cheer, and celebrate with the seniors as they take their next step in life. It's not a small accomplishment and a major life change so let's keep on praying and cheering our seniors on as they head into the working world! Congrats class of 2012! After the Senior Friday Celebration, we headed over to RSF to join A2F for the ever-exciting gym night at Berkeley's RSF! It was an awesome time as we raced back and forth throwing giant earthballs, dodging for dear life in dodgeball and racing down the basketball court in musical basketball. It was a great night and as usual you can find the pictures below!

SFSU Blast from the Past
By SFSU Koinonia | 6 comments
Hey guys, we're working setting up some kind of plugin to give you guys a one stop shop for all the pictures we upload to the flickr. We heard you guys and we're doing something about and trying to make it easier to find all our pictures. As some of you might have noticed, the galleries only load 100 pictures and if there are more we have to split it up into different sets or they just don't get posted. So if you're looking for all of our pictures you can find them here: SFSU Flickr Collection Since it's senior Friday tomorrow just thought we'd bring some pictures for a blast from the past... :) Here is Simon and Lenin when they were frosh. Hope you can tell which one is them. From frosh to a senior with attitude! Chloe and Amelia when they were Sophomores to famous stage actresses! Ok maybe not... Hanzen when he was normal Hanzen as we now know him :) Kyle when he first came out... Kyle now Tina as a frosh Tina now Congratulations to all of you who made it through! Even if you have another year or three we're still glad you're here and wanted to congratulate you guys!

SFSU Video Scavenger Season 2 Ep 2
By SFSU Koinonia | 8 comments
And now for the second episode in the SF State Video Scavenger Hunt! Vote with your comments as to which wins the most awkward award here. The prompt for this was demonstrate culture shock at an In N Out restaurant. I think the students weren't actually acting and were just doing what they would normally do. You'll know what I mean by watching the second video below :). By the way, there's a little Easter egg that your friendly blog-owners threw in at the bottom but make sure you watch it full screen. See if you can catch it. SFSU Culture Shock 1 SFSU Culture Shock 2 SFSU Culture Shock 3 Now some of the students decided to rebel against the prompts and create their own prompts and to be nice we featured the video for their sake. Make sure to watch it in full screen :).

SFSU Baptism Recap
By SFSU Koinonia | 3 comments
Last Sunday we got to see our very own Sarah and Kyle get baptized and it was great to see them make their faith public. Both sets of families came up and it was a wonderful service as we were reminded of God's work in our own lives and the common thread of grace that ties everything back to God. There was a very touching presentation where everyone got to describe their life before Christ with one word and then their life after Christ. Then the praise band gave a special song to close the service. We then finished the day off with gourmet hamburgers with all the fixings. Definitely a memorable Sunday. Congratulations to Sarah and Kyle! Check out the pictures below

SFSU Friday Recap! *Updated*
By SFSU Koinonia | 9 comments
Wow, what a packed Friday! We had a special message given by Jeannie Lee since Joe went on the 30+ getaway and we were really blessed by the message from Mark 6 and the things that keep us from receiving the truth. We then split off into various life groups for our various outings. The sisters went to A2 to make their "secrete project" which turns out to be some delicious looking dessert and T-shirt making! There were some pretty creative designs so check out the pictures below As for the seniors, sophomores and frosh, we had our own video scavenger hunt and there were some hilarious videos made. These epic videos deserve their own post so they will be posted separately and it also became a thinly veiled excuse to gorge ourselves on In N Out burgers and demolish several earthquakes at Ghirardelli. Of course, in good brotherly fashion, it turned into a competition of who can dust their earthquake the fastest. Suffice to say, the group with Brian Yang completely destroyed the other groups without question... The junior bros went crabbing and though there were some heroic efforts and a lot of fish sauce used on the bait, the crabs just weren't biting. But they did not come home empty handed and as one brother shared, they caught colds instead of crabs... not sure if that's really worth mentioning but they certainly braved the cold and damp weather out in Pacifica and it was definitely a bonding experience. The highlight would be when the juniors grew desperate to catch a crab and decided to soak their bait with more fish sauce and as brother J poured out the sauce he failed to take into account that there was a strong wind blowing and several brothers were marinated in fish sauce along with the bait... But none of the junior bros volunteered to be used as bait so alas, no crabs were caught. Maybe next time!
