I am thrilled to share the latest edition of Washington Square: The Magazine! This was one of our most ambitious issues, featuring more than 30 stories across nine colleges.

I wrote about a few different colleges, including:
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education
The College of Humanities and the Arts
The College of Social Sciences
Additionally, I wrote a profile of university archivist Carli Lowe, whose transformative approach to archives includes a social justice lens, focusing on voices often excluded from history. I also got the chance to visit SJSU alumnus Bill Hare’s recording studio in the hills above Milpitas. Hare is celebrated in the world of recording a capella music, and is credited with helping inspire the “Pitch Perfect” franchise. There’s also a piece describing the Grad Slam competition hosted by the College of Graduate Studies, a competitive event for graduate students that challenges them to present their research in three minutes and one slide.
As always, I am grateful for the chance to meet such interesting people and learn how our faculty, students and alumni are changing the world.
