"Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him" - Virginia Satir

ABOUT ME
Hello Everyone, I just completed my fourth semester in the Master of Public Administration program here at SJSU. I am currently employed by the City of San José and work for Councilmember Forrest Williams who represents District 2. Regarding communications, I have a limited amount of experience in the subject as I have only taken one course, public speaking. I hope to learn as much as I can from this course and from all of you. As we can observe in the democratic primary, communication can make or break an individual's aspirations and goals. Therefore, it is essential that we all pay close attention and work diligently in this course.

Andres, I just did a quick count of the MPA students in this class and there are 7. How did you find out about the class? I've never had such an interest in COMM 144 from MPA students. Of course, I'm happy about it. What sort of work do you do for the council member?
I found out about the class through a colleague from the MPA program. This year was the first year that the MPA program offered a summer course, therefore in order to make it worth the $1200 we had to find another class for the 6 units. Elizabeth Sanford who is in this class, let me know that Organizational Communications was being accepted as an elective by the dierctor of the MPA program. Regarding my work with the Councilmember, I focus on community relations i.e. neighborhood associatons, senior groups and general constituent cencerns. I also take care of Public Safety as well as Economic Development.
