Welcome to the AFSA at Stan State
The Assyrian Faculty and Staff Association (AFSA) was established in 2025 to create a space for connection, cultural celebration and shared advocacy among Assyrian professionals at Stanislaus State. As one of the University’s recognized affinity groups, AFSA serves as a home for faculty and staff who share an Assyrian heritage or are passionate about supporting the community.
The BFA gallery at Stan State Art Space is thrilled to announce the solo exhibition Sanctified and Sovereign by Bachelor of Fine Arts candidate Melissa Parga from May 29-June 27, 2025. The gallery is located at 226 N. First Street in downtown Turlock, and admission is free, with free on-street parking available. An opening reception will take place Thursday, June 12, from 6:00p.m.
