Student Aztecs Blog From Around The World as Part of SDSU Month 2006

From France to Russia to the high seas, several SDSU students will share their international experiences through the “Aztec Dispatches” blog project that’s part of SDSU Month 2006.

Starting after Feb. 1 and running through April 8, these students, along with several SDSU faculty and alumni, will open a window on their world through regular blog entries at www.sdsumonth.com.

SDSU Month, which spans the month of March, is the campus’ annual celebration honoring the university’s “Minds that Move the World.” This year’s celebration emphasizes SDSU’s growing international impact through the efforts of students, faculty and alumni who are studying, researching or working abroad.

SDSU Month also features dozens of arts, academic and athletic events, including the Explore SDSU open house Saturday, April 8. This year’s open house will feature free exhibits, tours, a children’s play area, live entertainment and more.

There will also be special offers from local businesses and organizations. Several of these will help raise funds for the SDSU Month Scholarship Challenge, which helps provide financial assistance to some of SDSU’s outstanding students.

The celebration also will feature a partner-supported media campaign, including TV announcements that will run during broadcasts of the 2006 Winter Olympics.

SDSU Month sponsors and media partners include Allison & Partners, Associated Students, Aztec Shops, Cox Communications, The Daily Aztec, Geary Interactive, KPBS, NBC 7/39, Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill, San Diego Magazine, The San Diego Union-Tribune, the SDSU Alumni Association, the SDSU President’s Leadership Fund, the SDSU Research Foundation, Time Warner Cable, Univision San Diego, Univision Radio and U.S. Bank.
