San Diego Mesa College

Good question.

Uh, so after my degrees, my formal training, I was teaching college, San Diego State, Mesa College, National University, and found the students were somewhat lackluster.

You know, lo- not that many of them were as enthused about the subject as I.

Uh, we move on.

USA.

A health fair called Rooted in Good Health was held at San Diego Mesa College in California on September 23rd.

Organizer Ms. Khambata contacted practitioners through the Falun Dafa website several months before the event and invited them to participate.

She placed their Falun Dafa booth among the stalls that lined the lawn and asked practitioners to teach the exercises.

Also with us is Judy Sandio.

She's a licensed clinical psychologist and professor emeritus at Mesa College.

Currently, she's the president of the Association of Black Psychologists chapter in San Diego.

Professor Sandio, welcome to you, too.

We've never really had a national movement to heal from the, um, the, the horror, horrors of enslavement for over three centuries.

So these healing circles are giving Black families a chance to heal.

I've been speaking with Ricardo Guthrie, Professor of Social Justice at Fisk University, and Judy Sundayo, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Professor Emeritus at Mesa College, and President of the local ABPSI chapter.

They'll both be at the San Diego Central Library tonight to talk more about Even the Rat Was White.

[laughs]

So was your schooling at San Diego State prepared you, uh, and also at Mesa College, that, boy, they prepared me well to take this internship on? Or did you learn, boy, I need to learn something really quick, real fast?

No, definitely I think SDSU really was where I learned that I needed to boots on the floor, like running.

I needed to go for it.

It could be a player that has challenged you the most throughout your collegiate career.

So I don't know where he's at now, but this was my sophomore year when I was at San Diego Mesa College, Juco, out west, actually in my hometown.

We were playing against our hometown rivals, Palomar College, and I ended up throwing three interceptions to the same nickel.

It was a bad game for me, but that guy had my number.

So I advise, my main job is advising pre-med students or pre-professional health students.

And then I adjunct classes as well, helping students at the Mesa College prepare for those programs

and the like.

I would love to ask you about students come in when they're applying and they're writing these essays or stories.

You know, reflecting on City College's response to this incident in real time, what do you think the SDCCD could have done better?

I think anticipating the way that an immigration action could happen given the unique landscape of City College, Mesa College and Miramar College.

Most of the roads that are internal to the campus are owned and patrolled by the district, not the city.

But City College is woven into downtown San Diego.
