    On Friday, the San Jose Business Journal reported that the CSU system is throwing open the doors to any students from Gulf Coast states displaced by Hurricane Katrina, and to California students who had planned on attending schools in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama. SJSU President Don Kassing sent out this message late Friday. [tags]SJSU[/tags]

    We went ahead and made a donation to the Red Cross, but we also gave to Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends runs a huge animal sanctuary in Utah and works hard to educate people about spaying and neutering their pets.

    I’m quoted in Mansi Bhatia’s article in this semester’s Washington Square, a publication of the SJSU office of Communications and Public Affairs. I assume the magazine goes out to alumni, and is not to be confused with Access, the Journalism & Mass Communications department’s student-produced magazine, which is available all over campus.

    In discussions about international communication, I often hear the argument that neither this “blogging” thing in specific nor the internet in general are not on the radar in places like Africa, where they “don’t even have phones, much less internet access” (or so goes the myth).
