Creep Event: Myriam Gurba, with Carribean Fragoza, & Creep at Octavia’s Bookshelf – In-Person Event
Octavia’s Bookshelf will host author Myriam Gurba, in conversation with author Carribean Fragoza, to discuss her book, Creep: Accusations and Confessions.
Creep, from the author of Mean, is an essay collection that tackles the pervasive, creeping oppression and toxicity that has wormed its way into society. Gurba implicates everyone from Joan Didion to her former abuser, from Mexican stereotypes to the carceral state, and argues for a new way of conceptualizing oppression. She is a fierce explorer of intersectional Latinx identity.
The speaking event will be followed by an author signing.

Fred Lauzier
Director of Keck School of Medicine of USC (ret.)
1971, B.S., Microbiology
Fred Lauzier has made a huge impact on clinical laboratories in Southern California, starting his own lab, Belvue Medical Labs, and later developing more than two dozen independent labs.
He was an early advocate of digitizing lab and radiology work to make results and images electronically available to providers regardless of their physical location — a routine practice nowadays but a novel concept at the time. For his efforts, Lauzier was named Employee of the Year at both FHP International Clinical Labs and later the UC Irvine Medical Center.
Lauzier, who also holds a clinical lab scientist license and a bioanalyst lab manager license, was among the first to recognize the importance of testing in the areas of HDL cholesterol, hemoglobin A-1-C and HIV as well as functional MRI for neuroimaging.
After retiring as executive director of the UC Irvine Medical Center - All Ancillary Services, Lauzier returned to the workplace to hold several interim positions, most recently interim director of the USC Keck/Norris Medical Center.
During his time at CSULB, Lauzier served as president of Sigma Pi fraternity and was on the Intra-Fraternity Council. He also helped co-found the Microbiology Club and was an active participant in the Intramural sports program. He said what he learned at CSULB was the meaning of hard work and patience.
"Results often don't appear immediately," he said. "I also learned the value of developing networks of f American serial killer Not to be confused with the other California serial killers named the "Freeway Killer", William Bonin and Patrick Kearney. Randy Steven Kraft (born March 19, 1945) is an American serial killer and rapist known as the Scorecard Killer, the Southern California Strangler, and the Freeway Killer, who committed the rape, torture, and murder of a minimum of sixteen young men between 1972 and 1983, the majority of whom he killed in California. Kraft is also believed to have committed the rape and murder of up to fifty-one other young men and boys. He was convicted in May 1989 and is currently incarcerated on death row at San Quentin State Prison in Marin County, California. Kraft became known as the "Scorecard Killer" because upon his arrest, investigators discovered a coded list with sixty-one entries on a scorecard containing cryptic references to his victims; he is also sometimes referred to as the "Freeway Killer" because many of his victims' bodies were discovered beside or near freeways. Randy Kraft was born in Long Beach, California, on March 19, 1945, the fourth child and only son of Opal Lee (née Beal) and Harold Herbert Kraft. Kraft's father had moved to California from Wyoming weeks after the United States' entry into World War II. Upon finding employment as a production operative at Douglas Aircraft Company, he was joined by his wife and three daughters. The Kraft family lived modestly, and Kraft's mother took several jobs to supplement her husband's assembly-line salary. Kraft's mother initially found employment as a seamstress in a Westminster garment factory before later obtaining employment as a cook in a local school. Nonetheless, Opal Kraft always found time for her children; in contrast, Kraft's father seldom attended any social gatherings with them and was later described as being "distanced" from his family. As a child, K For many, college provides a road to success. But it's not the only road. Here's a look at dozens of tech, business, political and media stars of the 20th century and beyond who left school without undergrad degrees, but with plenty of ambition and talent to make things happen. First up: Oprah Winfrey. In 1975, the future media mogul and philanthropist left Tennessee State University for a TV job one credit shy of completing her four-year degree. A decade later, after launching her talk show and earning an Oscar nomination, Winfrey resumed her studies. She graduated as a member of Tennessee State's Class of 1986. The Apple co-founder "may ... be one of the most famous dropouts in history," per Reed College, the liberal arts school in Oregon which Steve Jobs left after just one semester. ("I ran out of money," Jobs explained in a 1991 commencement speech at the school.) In 2017, the Facebook CEO was a commencement speaker at Harvard University. Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of the Ivy League school in 2005 to focus on his then-young but growing social media platform. In the late 1990s, according to an Oprah magazine interview with singer-songwriter Alicia Keys, the future Grammy-winner left Columbia University after four weeks for a music deal with Columbia Records. She was all of 16 at the time. According to the Yale Daily News, Dick Cheney dropped out of the Ivy League school twice. (Biography.com and other sources describe the departures as Cheney having "failed out.") The future U.S. vice president would eventually settle into higher education and earn bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Wyoming. Joel Osteen dropped out of Oral Roberts University as a freshman in the early 1980s. The pastor went on to help build his father's Houston evangelical church, Lakewood, into the biggest megachurch in the United S Randy Kraft
