San Diego State University is known for the fact that it has a wonderfully active student body. The vast majority of pupils give back to the community in at least one way, and plenty of volunteer with  various  groups. Spencer Jensen is a fantastic example of a student who sees community involvement as a priority.

As a member of the Cultural Arts and Special occasions (CASE) Committee, Spencer Jensen works to promote different cultural, artistic, and educative events on campus. CASE works to bring the San Diego State University student body together to show up at enriching, educational events like poetry readings, book clubs, and musical performances from students, community members, and guests. It would be difficult to find a San Diego State University student that has not been to at least one of CASE’s great events.

As a leader in CASE, Spencer Jensen puts his credentials in marketing and communications to good employ. He makes certain that all of his fellow pupils are aware of upcoming events. His flyers stand out for their graphically interesting designs and catchy titles, not to mention the exciting content that CASE constantly brings to campus.

For CASE’s Open Mic Night, Spencer Jensen served as Assistant Marketing Coordinator, an excellent fit for him. The event grew quickly from a small coffeehouse event, the original plan, to a huge auditorium event, since so many pupils showed interest and signed up to perform. The event was memorable for its musical performances, interpretive dances, and hilarious skits by San Diego State University students. Given the accomplishment of the evening, CASE plans to repeat it more often, using very much the same marketing techniques that they developed with Spencer Jensen was serving as Assistance Marketing Coordinator. CASE praised Spencer Jensen for his hard work on the project, and all of CASE’s members and leadership board got to enjoy a great evening celebrating the accomplishment of their flagship event.

San Diego State University pupils spent last weekend cleaning up the local seaside as a volunteer activity. Spencer Jensen assisted to organize the event, which brought the student body together for a weekend of fun, bonding, and volunteer work. Spencer Jensen had the idea for the beach cleanup weekend when he and some friends took a trip to the beach.

“We brought a picnic with us, and had some trash bags to clean up after ourselves. Without really planning it, we ended up filling a couple of bags with trash from around the seaside,” said Spencer Jensen. “The seaside looked better after we left, yet there was still more to be done. We figured a group of us could get the seaside cleaned up pretty soon .”

Working together, Spencer Jensen and his friends started asking around, and finding many pupils that would be intrigued in a cleanup. When the list kept growing, Spencer Jensen had the idea to make it a weekend trip to make it more exciting and fun for the pupils. He organized a car pool signup, wrote a proposal for the University to pitch in for some cleanup supplies, and researched camp web sites. The pupils left campus early in the morning and spent most of the day cleaning up various   shores  till the sun went down.

It converted into an excellent community-builder; plenty of students met individuals they hadn’t interacted with before. The next day, they finished the cleanup with some more seashores and rewarded themselves with a few hours of swimming and sunbathing. Overall, the cleanup had thirty volunteers from San Diego State University and they collected over 100 bags of trash. Spencer Jensen was thrilled with the results of the beach cleanup, and hopes to organize more cleanup events in the future.
