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.
