- Alum’s art showcased on new SF State water bottleArtist and alumnus Jordan Herren stands in from of painting that he made that hangs in SF State's Administration building while holding a water bottle he illustrated. University distributes reusable water bottles to campus community to reduce waste For the third year in a row, San Francisco State University welcomed the campus community to a new academic year with colorful, reusable aluminum water bottles — a subtle way of signaling that single-use plastic bottles are not welcome on campus. This year, for the first time, an alumnus is responsible for the artwork on the water bottle. “Hopefully, people will want to hang on to these bottles because of the dymanic design,” said San Francisco State Associate Vice President of Alumni Relations and University Engagement Nicole Lange. “And it’s a bonus that the design was created by an alumnus.” Lange’s responsible for the initial partnership with PATH, the company behind these customizable water bottles. She also approached artist Jordan Herren (B.A., ’13) about the project. Herren works in marketing but creates murals and paintings in his spare time. His work can be found across San Francisco, including at iconic places like the Ferry Building, the SF State campus and his high school in Daly City. His signature style is energetic and optimistic, he says, and it’s in this style that he captured SF State’s skyline for the water bottle. This isn’t the first time his art was featured at the University. In 2022, he created a colorful painting of the San Francisco skyline during a staff appreciation event to welcome back employees following quarantine. It hangs in the first floor of the Administration building.

- Alum part of Santa Cruz team that won Pulitzer Prize for breaking newsPhotojournalist’s images and video part of award-winning coverage of destructive Santa Cruz storms On May 6, Kevin Painchaud (B.A., ’97) received a cryptic message from his boss, the managing editor of Lookout Santa Cruz, a digital-only news organization covering Santa Cruz County. She told him and the rest of the 10-person newsroom to assemble for a company meeting at 10 a.m. “Don’t worry — it’s good news,” she told him. No one had any clue what she was about to say. The editorial team assembled via Zoom. That’s when Managing Editor Tamsin McMahon blurted out, “We won the Pulitzer!” There was stunned silence. She repeated herself, but this time with context: “We won the Pulitzer for our breaking news coverage of the Santa Cruz storms.” McMahon had submitted an application for the coveted journalism prize in secret, thus the dumbfounded reactions of her staff.
