2 SBA Board: FROM THE SECRETARY: Greetings, Carlos Rosario President Jessica Montoya & Christian Cornejo Co-Vice Presidents (Full-Time) & I hope that everyone enjoyed fall break and was able to get out of town, relax, or enjoy some local attractions. I spent the weekend in San Francisco and watched the Blue Angels perform at the end of fleet week. There are many exciting opportunities in the Bay Area during the fall season and I encourage everyone to partake in the many law school hosted events and outside community events as possible.

SBA will review how the year is going so far and welcomes feedback, questions, and concerns from all club members.

Because Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton captivated the attention and respect of millions of voters, political commentators claimed that race and gender were no longer relevant categories. While conservatives have long denounced race- and gender-conscious policies, liberals have now begun to make such arguments in greater frequency. Professor Darren Hutchinson seeks to debunk the postidentity discourse by: (1) tracing it to historical arguments opposing race consciousness; (2) revealing its racist and sexist dimensions; and (3) making the case for race- and gender-consciousness as tools of progressive political organizing and public policy. Wine and Cheese Reception immediately following the lecture. Co-hosted with the PI&SJ Coalition. This activity has been approved for Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit by the State Bar of California in the amount of one hour.
