Welcome To Terrilynn's World |
I am currently Lab Aide to all the wonderful and brilliant people that make up the City College LGBT Studies Department. I'm a student at City College, and my passions are English, Gay and Lesbian Studies and Interdisciplinary Studies. I volunteer for Project Survive through the Women's Studies Department where I learned to teach my peers about healthy relationships, and domestic violence and rape prevention. I volunteer in the CCSF Writing Lab as an ESL tutor, where my fellow students teach me what amazing and creative writing is truly all about. I'm an out transgender woman and trans-activist, and I volunteer on the Transgender Voices, Transgender Rights project which educates CCSF students, faculty, and staff, about gender diversity on the City College campus. I'm also the tech wizardess who magically created this website by rubbing 1's and 0's together! On the rare ocassion when I'm not busy studying, volunteering, or attending school, I can often be heard playing playing Blues and Rock n Roll on one of my 5 electric guitars! Terrilynn In The News 
PLAN TO STRENGTHEN CIVIL RIGHTS "The teenagers and college students who left their homes to march in the streets of Birmingham and Montgomery; the mothers who walked instead of taking the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry and cleaning somebody else's kitchen - they didn't brave fire hoses and Billy clubs so that their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren would still wonder at the beginning of the 21st century whether their vote would be counted; whether their civil rights would be protected by their government; whether justice would be equal and opportunity would be theirs. . . . We have more work to do." Contact: Webmistress Copyright 1996-2007 City College of San Francisco. All rights reserved. |

Mission Statement Department History The CCSF Writing Lab supports writers at any point in the writing process. We believe in a collaboration model which allows students to find their own voice, and tap into the many skills and creativity they already bring to their work. Project Survive Why Reach for Excellence? I challenge you to reach for excellence and join the CCSF Honors program. Why reach for excellence? You'll have to answer that, but I can tell you that while challenging, the honors program is worth it, and the many program benefits are merely icing on the academic cake. I've completed 4 honors classes with professors who have made me earn them, with the final class in progress this semester via the CCSF Honors Dept. / Mills College Cross-Registration program. The work challenges me, and the benefits are increased confidence, further exploration on topics, and my abilities have been stretched far beyond what I ever imagined possible. I believe I'm also receiving a deeper and more meaningful college experience, because professors expect more out of me. Why not reach for excellence? Dan Allen Memorial Scholarship 2007 Dan Allen Scholar. Awarded for my commitment to the CCSF LGBT community, and education on the CCSF campus about LGBT issues. I am honored to follow in the footsteps of a well-loved CCSF educator in the English Department, who was also a co-creator of the City College LGBT Department. I am grateful that Dan felt it important enough to form a scholarship for people who contribute to LGBT awareness on campus. I feel honored to be selected, and I hope I can someday return to City College and teach. I hope to teach LGBT Studies and/or English like Dan, with an emphasis on Interdisciplinary Studies. 2006 Bernard Osher Scholar. Awarded for my academic achievement. Deans LIst 2006
