619 for 619
Aztecs Rock Hunger
Aztecs Rock Hunger, the annual campus-wide food drive coordinated by Associated Students, raises money and collects non-perishable food items for the Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank. In addition to serving the San Diego community, the Aztecs Rock Hunger donations provide nutritious food, including fresh produce, to the A.S. Food Pantry, which serves students two days a week. Furthermore, 20% of monetary donations go to the SDSU Economic Crisis Response Team to provide short-term and long-term aid quickly to students experiencing food insecurity.
Every dollar you give equals 6 pounds of food!
Aztecs Rock Hunger is October 18 through November 11. The goal this year is to collect 619,000 lbs. of food for the 619 community and with YOUR help, we can do it!

MBAC Staff Act Quickly to Save Life
Last month, Mission Bay Aquatic Center staff were notified a man had collapsed in the parking lot. Paul Lang, MBAC Instructional & Maintenance Manager, Amanda Grant, MBAC Office & Marketing Coordinator and Kevin Straw, MBAC Director, responded immediately.
Kevin quickly grabbed the emergency oxygen, and Amanda grabbed the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). A man was on the ground unresponsive with several bystanders nearby. One of the bystanders called 911, while Paul began an initial assessment. A student leaving her MBAC class identified herself as an EMT and offered assistance as well.
The man was breathing occasionally and also seizing. Paul applied the oxygen mask to the man's face and kept him resting on his side during the seizure. The man's breathing was intermittent and the staff could not find a pulse, so they used the AED. The student began chest compressions while Kevin administered rescue breaths. The staff continued with CPR for approximately three to four minutes until an ambulance arrived. When the paramedics arrived, the man had occasional breaths and no consistent pulse. The paramedics continued CPR and loaded the man into the ambulance. As the man was being loaded, he appeared to have a pulse. The ambulance transported the individual to the hospital.
Afterward, a representative from Project Heartbeat came to debrief with the staff and download the data from the AED used during the incident.
As a follow up, San Diego Fire called let the MBAC staff know the victim survived and is doing well. SD Fire said the MBAC team’s quick action likely contributed to the man’s survival. Kudos to the MBAC staff for their quick response and teamwork to assist a community member in need!
