SF State Magazine: Fall/Winter 2019
The Fall/Winter 2019 issue was great! Thank you!
Sophia Hutson Wambach, B.S., ’82
I just received and browsed through your Fall/Winter 2019 issue. Very nice. I enjoyed reading the alumni/alumnae profiles on pages 17 through 24. I would like to ask that you consider doing a piece on Alex Borstein, who is so wonderful in Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” She’s a joy to watch and apparently attended SF State in the 1990s sometime.
Jim Bergmann, B.A., ’95
Editor’s note: Borstein (B.A., ’92) reminisced about her time at SF State and how it helped launch her career in an overview of alum comedians in our Fall/Winter ’17 issue (“Laughing Matters”). We’re very proud of her successes, however — she’s won Emmys, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Critics Choice Television Awards! — and have considered featuring her in the magazine again. Readers — let us know what other Gators you’d like to see spotlighted in our pages.
In your Fall/Winter 2019 issue, you identified Professor Emeritus of Geography & Environment Max Kirkeberg as raising more than $1M for AIDS Walk San Francisco. The accurate fact is that the St. Francis Lutheran/SF State Geography team raised over one million dollars together. Max was the captain of the team all those years.

We apologize for leaving out the big picture when writing about Professor Kirkeberg, a result of condensing his accomplishments into a brief item for our “In the News” department. An in-depth look at his contributions to AIDS Walk San Francisco — and those of his SF State and St. Francis Lutheran teammates — can be found online at news.sfsu.edu/news-story/professor-honored-sf-aids-walk-fundraising.
