Memorable Quote: “I'm a very firm believer that just because someone's deaf or hard of hearing does not mean they can, they can't experience music. It might be a little different than how an abled hearing person would be, but it's not something that they can't do, and they can equally do it as much as anyone else.” Ryan Lofland, UMichigan Ann Arbor.

The stadium was key to bringing professional soccer to the Monterey Peninsula.
In this podcast, Rachele picks up where she left off in Part 1. Her heart broke when she moved from San Francisco to Oakland, but it made sense given her new job as a reporter at the Tri-Valley Times. Oakland has changed a lot in Rachele's nearly 40 years there, but she came to love it nonetheless. The paper became the Contra Costa Times and her editors assigned Rachele to the medicine beat. She went to work for a paper in North Carolina for a few years, where she covered Duke and the University of North Carolina's medical schools. After that, it was back to California to work for the Oakland Tribune. She had met and married her husband here, and he had traveled east and back with her. In 1995, with a one-year-old at home, she had the chance to teach a class in SF State's Journalism department, and she took it. Instantly, she loved it. It turned into a regular job (as a lecturer), while she was also working as a reporter and raising an infant. She had another kid a few years later and decided to get her master's degree. That meant moving her family to New York City, because she got into Columbia's graduate journalism program. The family had just arrived when the 2001 attacks happened in lower Manhattan. Rachele shares what it was like to be in New York in the aftermath of 9/11. After a brief detour at CSU Monterey Bay, Rachele landed back at SF State, in 2004. This time, she was on tenure track. This is where Rachele and Jeff's paths intersect, as he was in the journalism program at state from 2003–05. She was back right where she wanted to be, doing what she wanted to be doing. The legacy of activism at SF State played no small part in why Rachele felt at home there. The Diversity Style Guide essentially came out of the Journalism Department's work (the Center for the Integration and Improvement of Journalism). The Center was losing funding for a variety of reasons. As interim chair of the Center, Rachele took an existing style guide that had been compiled from various sources and revitalized it from a PDF to a searchable website, as it exists today. Most of Rachele's time as chair of the Journalism Department has been during COVID. She uses those experiences as a basis of talking about what it means to still be here—our show's theme this season. If you missed Part 1, please go back and listen. And visit her website: Rachele Kanigel. We recorded this podcast at Rachele's home in Oakland in January 2022. Photography by Jeff Hunt
Steven Mays Bio As a session coach at OsteoStrong, Steve has a passion for helping members feel unbreakable and seeing them become stronger, more balanced and more confident in their skin. Steve is a former college and professional athlete and has been interested in physical medicine since he was young, studying exercise science/kinesiology in college at CSU Monterey Bay. Since then, he is constantly finding new methods to optimize athletic performance and overall health and well-being. After baseball, Steve became a licensed massage therapist and a certified personal trainer among numerous other certifications, alternative therapies and transformational programs. All to continue his love of helping others live healthier, happier and more energized lifestyles. Steve discovered OsteoStrong during a Tony Robbins: Unleash the Power Within event! He immediately saw the brilliance of the technology and knew it aligned with his mission to help people perform better, gain strength, and live life with less pain. After an old baseball injury and failed attempts for years to stay in shape, Steve met the inventor of OsteoStrong, Dr. John Jaquish and was introduced to the X3 Bar. In the subsequent 6 months, he transformed his body, losing 16 lbs of fat and gaining 18 lbs of lean muscle while enjoying more energy and less pain than he has ever had. He is stronger now after 1 year of OsteoStrong & 2 years of X3Bar, than he was as a professional athlete. Steve now works with a select private group of clients, who are hungry and disciplined, to get strong as they've ever been while relieving pain in 20 minutes a day or less without injury.

Earlier this spring, the California State University system announced it will hold most fall classes online. Online classes existed at CSU before the pandemic, but never on this scale. Now many in academia are now wondering if virtual classes are a short-term solution or a long-term trend. Professor Dan Fernandez teaches physics at CSU Monterey Bay. He’s taught the classes dozens of times to scores of students in his 24 years at CSUMB, but this spring was different. It changed on March 16, with the global pandemic and CSU, the largest university in the nation, decided to shut down and then reopen teaching online. There were no classrooms, no desks and the students were miles apart. Professors, many of whom had never taught a class online before, had just five days to figure it out. “I think for most of our faculty it was a challenge,” said CSUMB Chief Information Officer Chip Lenno. Fortunately, there were already systems in place. The university established a learning management
