I am writing to you after just having read through “The Griot”. I am a full-time counselor at UCLA and am very excited and thrilled to see the pages full of students and faculty. I got a strong sense of community from reading your paper … and a brush up on my history! I just wanted to commend the students and staff who worked on the paper. I work in the Community Programs Office, which works with student-initiated projects on community service, outreach and retention. I will gladly pass this issue on to students and staff here at UCLA. I was able to visit the online version, but am interested in getting the hard copy to have in the office for people to read. At UCLA,we have the magazine, NOMMO (the word), which is student run. The African Studies Center may have their own publication, but the African Network seems much more of a very active group on the campus that works closely with the students. Once again, I am very encouraged by your paper. I will be sure to share it, particularly with the African Student Union advisor and chairperson.
