The fine improvisers of Iota Eta Pi Comedy Improv Team make up everything that we do on stage, on the spot. We are a motley crew of great guys and gals who enjoy and practice improvisation twice a week. At our shows, you’ll see of us perform some competitive short-form improv games, but our focus is on long form.
We perform regularly on-campus at SDSU (Free Shows and Private Shows) and sometimes against UCSD’s FOOSH. We also attend Improv Festivals such as UCSD’s
ImprovApocalyse and USC’s Fracas. If you’d like to get involved, check us out on the Iota Eta Pi Facebook page.

Our mission is to help TFM students gain experience in film making and also to help students by adding to their portfolios. Which helps with access to the TFM major. Any one can join the club by just coming in to one of the meetings. The group also provides a series of workshops and tutorials with professionals in the industry. Every semester a film festival is produced with the work from the group. The student group is not only for film majors, in fact we encourage anyone who is interested in filming, acting, or in any type of video production to come in. Check out the Film Society Facebook page.

V-Day SDSU is part of a greater global movement that strives to end violence towards women, woman-identified, and trans non-binary individuals, raise awareness of intersectional feminism, and overall bring to light the everyday struggles of women throughout the globe. Every year, SDSU puts on a production of The Vagina Monologues written by Eve Ensler, who brings up issues regarding women and the social stigma that goes with being a woman in our society. Each year, V-Day SDSU continues to expand on the crucial conversations that are essential to understand women in society. We strive to negate the harm and injustice that is aimed towards women in all situations on a day-to-day basis.
As an organization, we are proud to donate all the proceeds from our production each year to a local charity. Recent organizations that V-Day SDSU has supported include: San Diego Youth Services STARS, License to Freedom, and the Center for Community Solutions. All in all, we hope to leave the audience and supporters educated and empowered to stand up for this cause with us.
Auditions for The Vagina Monologues are held in October each year. Our performances take place in February or March. We welcome all interested students to get involved.
