SBLC message from your president
Feb 26th
Hello Titans!!
All year long you have heard me rant about how badly I want to beat UCSD and Berkeley at SBLC and finally the time has come to prove that CSUF is the best PBL chapter in California!
I was very excited to see the enthusiasm for this conference at yesterday’s general meeting. I saw teams being formed, people asking questions and members encouraging each other to participate! Many of you signed up for competitive events yesterday and those of you that haven’t, its not too late! (look at previous blog posts to sign up)
I encourage you to look over the CAP to find out details about each of your events and so you know exactly what you are doing. Many times individuals loose points because they did not follow directions. It is sad to see when a person has a great idea or a really good score but gets disqualified because they did not follow directions.
Very soon you will get an email with the events that you have signed up for so that you can begin to prepare. I want to see TITANS place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in as many categories as possible!! I know we can do it!
If you have any questions about SBLC – don’t hesitate to email me at Jackieperez@csufbpl.org

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.
