SSU's On Campus presents ready for prime time

On Campus Presents (OCP), which provides co-curricular and student life programming for Sonoma State students, will bring in a wide range of artists, athletes and actors this fall to the Green Music Center on the Rohnert Park campus.

The series kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 with Christie Rampone, the captain of the U.S. women's national soccer team. The professional defender is a three-time Olympic gold medalist and a two-time FIFA Women's World Cup champion.

Lake Street Dive, a Brooklyn-based indie pop band, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28. The band, which blends rock, jazz, indie pop, soul and folk, was recently named one of the '10 New Artists You Need to Know' by Rolling Stone Magazine.

American reggae rapper Matisyahu, who gained international attention with his Top 40 hit 'King Without a Crown,' will appear at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11. Born Matthew Paul Miller, the artist fuses dancehall reggae, rap, beat-boxing, ska punk and hip-hop with jazz scat-singing and Judaism's hazzan style of songful prayer.

Laverne Cox, an Emmy-nominated actress who plays Sophia Burset on the Netflix series 'Orange is the New Black,' will appear at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12. Cox is the first transgender woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream television show.

Both Rampone and Cox will appear as part of the Women in Leadership Lecture Series, which brings influential women from diverse backgrounds to SSU to share insight and perspective on the changing role of women in leadership.
