PBL Info Meeting
Come to our PBL Info Meeting on Tuesday, September 8 at 4:00pm in the Titan Student Union Room Alvarado B. This is your chance to learn about the organization, what we did in the past, what we’ll be doing this year, and to meet great new people! We’ll discuss what Phi Beta Lambda is, membership discount events, conferences, and what you can expect to experience and learn during the year.
Speaking of discount events – you can get $2 off your membership for every event you attend and the first event is the PBL Info Meeting! The other discount events will be the first general meeting on the 9th, a PBL social event, and a special charity event that we are planning called Twestival CSUF on September 14.
If you can’t attend the info meeting, don’t worry. You can always attend our General Meeting the next day.
General Meetings
Our first general meeting is Wednesday, September 9 at 4:00pm in the Titan Student Union in Gilman AB.
We’re going to have guest speakers Steve Averill and Justin Moore-Brown of OCJobTalk.com and OCBizblog.com. They are both Orange County entrepreneurs so this will be a great chance to network and learn about how they turn passion into profit.
Please note that all of our meetings will be on the last three Wednesdays of the month at 4pm. If you’re unable to attend meetings because of class, no worries…you can still join! We have events on different days of the week that you can participate in.
Membership
Phi Beta Lambda opens its membership to everybody which means students of all majors can join!
Membership is $80 per year and can be paid at any of the first three meetings.

Officer Positions
We have two officer positions open to new and returning members: Executive Assistant and Design Manager. More information will be available at the Informational Meeting and the First General meeting.

SPARK Social!
Oct 31st
Finally here are the pictures from our SPARK social on October 8th,2008!! We had a lot of fun planning and having this meeting! Thanks to all the officers that participated in everything from coming up with games ideas to cooking!! We accomplished a goal of SPARKing a Connection with Others!!
And our September MOM is…
Oct 21st
Cheri Yuo!
Though a new member to the CSUF PBL family, she has already done more than what’s expected! She helped out at the PBL recruiting tables during Discoverfest and the first week of school. She was THE first member to turn in her application and she has participated in almost all of the recent PBL events. She has participated in eveything from Tech Rush to the new unofficial PBL activity, geocaching, and this is her 1st year at CSUF! For these reasons, Cheri indeed deserves to be our Member of the Month for September 2008!
Cheri says she was happy and surprised when she found out that she was the MOM! Her favorite PBL event so far has been Disney’s Tech Rush. She said in her MOM interview, “I already liked Disney so it was cool to meet the employees and get a “Behind the Scenes” tour. For example, they showed how the employees actually draw animations for movies.” She is looking forward to participating in the Fresh Start Program and going to the conferences!
Her plans for the future include majoring in Business Administration – Economics. She plans to graduate and continue to get her masters.
Some fun facts about Cheri:
- Her current favorite song is : “Young Love” by Chris Brown
- TV show she cant miss is: One Tree Hill
- She can’t get sick of eating: Egg tart (an Asian pastry)
- Movie that she thinks you must see: The Pursuit of Happyness
- Her pet peeve: People who drive slowly
Her advice for members coveting the MOM title is that its better to be an active member, to go to the events and have fun!
Congratulations, Cheri! We’re proud to have you as a member!

PBL Programs
Oct 17th
Participating in PBL programs is the best way to get the full experience of PBL! Each program is designed to help you develop your personal, career, and academic skills. Bellow is a description of each of the programs we offer. Follow the link to sign up for each program. I encourage you to participate!
Member of the month (MOM): Monthly award given to a deserving member made a significant and positive contribution to the development of PBL. MOM will be announced at the 1st meeting of each month, receive a certificate of recognition, featured on our blog, twitter, and receive a small gift.
Fresh Start: A program exclusively for new members where you accumulate points by attending and being involved in PBL activities. Once you accumulate 175 points you graduate from fresh start , and are recognized at our state conference. Experience college life the PBL way! Perks: Fresh start socials exclusively for Fresh starters.
Sign up here:
SPARK study groups: New program for academic development of PBLers. Give us your class schedule and we will match you with other students that have the same class so that you can have a study group. Once you set up your groups- you can use our PBL office #265 in the TSU for studying. Also, you will have access to the new PBL test bank. When you receive a test back from your professor – let us scan it into google docs ( we will white out your name and grade) – and you will have access to test questions for practice!
sign up here:
Market Trends: Learn how to manage stocks in a fun way! You will get fake money to invest in the stock market and get experience on how the market works. This is a state wide program- which means you will be competing against PBL’rs from UCLA, UCSD, UC Berkley. – but don’t let that scare you!! CSUF won 1st place in market trends both semesters last year! It costs $5 to participate- but who ever wins 1st place gets a CASH price!!
sign up here:
Next Top Chapter (NTC): State wide program that recognizes the most active chapters! It honors the chapters that dedicate time and effort in planning activities for the members and community. We accumulate points as a chapter based on activities that meet the PBL crest- service , education, and progress.
Our ultimate goal: CSUF NTC 2008!!
iNetwork: This program is designed for PBL to share our knowledge with FBLA high school members by participating in different networking, social, and academic activities throughout the year with FBLA. Some of our PBL members today, came from FBLA! We have previously worked with Santa Fe High School, Kennedy High School and Troy High School.
Any questions? Contact Jorge Felix, VP of Programs at JorgeFelix@csufpbl.org
PBL Inter- Chapter Bonfires
Sep 29th
On Sept. 20,2008 CSUF PBL hosted the first So Cal inter chapter bonfire at Huntington Beach. This was a membership discount event for all CSUF PBL members that attended, but it was also a fun networking social in conjunction with CHC PBL. We so much fun with CHC PBL that they invited us to their own bonfire on October 10th at Corona Del Mar! Thanks CHC we had lots of fun with you at both bonfires!
Heal the Bay: Santa Monica Beach Clean Up
Sep 16th
On Sunday September 14, 2008 – CSUF and UCR PBL participated in the Heal the Bay program Santa Monica Beach! Early in the morning we set out to clean the beach and help the environment. It was surprising to find so many cigarette butts , glass bottles and plastic! . In the 2 hrs that we volunteered, my team and I found over 65 cigarette butts, and 20+ glass pieces!! Other teams found more!
We were amazed that we found so much glass in the sand. In one instance, Michelle found a big piece of glass sticking out from the sand , and when we started digging further we kept finding more and more glass. We spent about 10 minutes in that spot digging up all the big and tiny pieces of glass. That glass could have cut someone on the beach!I was surprised by the severeness of the problem and saddened that all of that goes into the ocean and possibly hurt marine life.
Oher items that we found ranged from food wrappers to bottle caps and even clothes. I am happy that in a small way PBL was able to make a difference. Its satisfying to know that we might have saved a little kid from cutting his foot with glass in the sand, or toxic cigarettes going into the Ocean.
After the clean up- we all ate at Bucca Di Beppo and enjoyed the Santa Monica Pier. Michelle, Diana, Victor, Yari and myself even rode the Ferris wheel!
Thanks again to all the volunteers to came out and helped out to Heal The Bay.
Jackie Perez
President
