USC Alumni Club of Newport Irvine

Rest assured, Orange County and Los Angeles are no the only places with thriving USC Alumni populations. On my recent trip to China, I had the opportunity to meet with leaders of the USC Alumni Association in Shanghai. I felt right at home walking into an office with Trojan decor all over. Fight on!

CNN had to issue a statement when an alleged USC College Republican claimed that college students are uninterested in the McCain campaign. Here is the LA Times piece: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/07/cnn-college-gop.html

1000 JOURNALS
(2007, Documentary, 88 minutes)
Director/screenwriter/producer: Andrea Kreuzhage

Take a thousand sketchbooks, glue on covers, stamp them a thousand times, hand-number them from 1 to 1,000, and send them out into the world. Then create a Web site and try to keep track of them all. This is the story of 1,000 Journals, a global collaborative project, which started in 2000 by a graphic designer in San Francisco who calls himself Someguy. 1000 Journals shares the experience of the sketchbooks’ worldwide journeys and chronicles the self-governed collaboration of thousands of random people who have added to this global “message in a bottle.” (Recommended for filmgoers 12 years old and older).
