Dear Friends,
It's been a busy year in Professional Studies and Fine Arts! With the Campaign for SDSU well under way, I wanted to take some time to share with you all that is happening here at SDSU. As always, our students and faculty have been hard at work on campus and in the community.
Our performing and visual arts students are engaged in creative endeavors and if you can get to campus to see an exhibition, film festival, enjoy some theatre or come for a concert, you will be pleased with the experience. Our professional studies students are working in the community - engaged in internships, mentorships and volunteer activities. Below, you'll read a little bit about the impact they are making.
I hope to see you on campus soon! With so much to offer this semester, we've included just a few highlights at the end of the newsletter. Make sure to mark your calendar!
Warmly,
Joyce
