Two short films by M.F.A. candidates are on display as part of the “Immediate Future” exhibition at the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery.

Two students make guest appearances this fall on the new NBC drama ”Trauma.” Whitney Thomas and Price Troche, both Drama majors, appear briefly on separate episodes.

Alumnus Cameron Fuller is one of three artists to win the 2010 Great Rivers Biennial award from the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. He studied printmaking at SF State and has branched out into installations, often created with masking tape and pulled off the wall after a show closes.

Former student Aiko Nishi Uwate has received an honorary bachelor’s degree from the California State University, 67 years after she was removed from SF State and sent to a World War II internment camp. Uwate was a Music major.
