Envision San Diego
Envision San Diego is a media partnership designed to facilitate community-wide discussion on the issues of greatest importance to the region leading to meaningful reform. Founded by SDSU's International Center for Communications, KPBS and SignOnSanDiego.com, Envision San Diego's media partnership now has over 15 members from across the media spectrum. The partnership is supported by a growing alliance of concerned citizens, community leaders, corporations and civic organizations. Our goal is not to duplicate the efforts of existing organizations, but to partner with those already working in the community, help give their efforts broader visibility, and provide the momentum to move some of the most pressing issues to the forefront of public debate leading to action in our region.

SDSU International Center for Communications
The International Center for Communications is an idea and an institution which joins the concepts of "communications" and "community" in creating a new program of research, study and community service, a vision of a Pacific Community, and a new American gateway to the Asia-Pacific region. The underlying mission of the Center is to redefine traditional notions of community locally and globally, and explore ways to link those communities together through the application of communications technology, and by adherence to the principles of free trade and the free flow of information. This vision is focused on the extricable link between communications, social and economic development and the fundamental importance of rebuilding local communities and defining new national and regional communities--essenital elements in the development of the world community originally envisioned by author Marshall McLuhan.
The Center has developed special competence and concentration on communications developments in the Pacific region. Through its programs of research, study and community service, the institution serves as both a forum for discussing the emerging issues, and a laboratory for applying the knowledge and experience of modern communications technology technique. It has created an atmosphere in which the academic and the practical can be joined to help resolve problems, specifically in the Pacific Area, but with worldwide relevance.
