SF Chronicle ads highlight what's great about SFSU
The great people, programs and alumni that distinguish SFSU are highlighted in a new ad campaign that launched Friday, Aug. 29, in the San Francisco Chronicle.

The series of six full-page color ads will run about every other Friday through November and appear in the San Francisco edition of the "Friday" section.

Each ad opens with the question: "What makes a university great?" The response, varying in each ad, is: alumni, faculty, students, diversity and community connections.

To view the first ad, see: www.sfsu.edu/~news/2003/fall/148.htm.
