Clyde Brewer, SJSU articulation officer, has received the Annual Service Award from the California Intersegmental Articulation Council. In the council’s presentation to Brewer, it was noted, "Brewer has always been available to consult with community college articulation officers and faculty on thorny issues of curriculum and articulation. Through these efforts, which are above and beyond the call of duty, he has advanced the reputation of the articulation officer as a valued resource and true professional." The CIAC is comprised of nine UCs, the CSU system and 108 community college campuses. Contact Brewer at cbrewer@sjsu.edu.
