Global developments in communications and technology mark the dynamic, changing nature of socio-economic and political relations among nations. International cooperation is now a prerequisite of any large-scale business operation, and absolutely necessary to maintain competitiveness and survivability. Individuals educated to think and work with an international consciousness are best equipped to lead in our new global neighborhood. We should have a greater understanding of this new global network. It is in the spirit of global vision combined with the recognition that modern technology is the bonding power among nations. Hence, I present to you a model for the future of international education. Combining this cooperative vision with the latest research in science, technology and management, International Technological University (ITU) will continue to make major contributions to the fields of development, environmental protection and international cooperation. The location of ITU is unique. The state of California combines the richest resources with the most congenial conditions available in the United States. Silicon Valley is the capital of the world’s hi-tech industry. Stretching along the south shores of the San Francisco Bay, it is blessed with a superb climate, major universities, and a rich cultural and historical heritage. It is a hub of the American West, an international trade center, and a gateway to the Pacific and the world. The United States created and is the present leader in the high-technology

  • HONORABLE MAYOR FROM: Jill Bourne and CITY COUNCIL
    TO: HONORABLE MAYOR FROM: Jill Bourne AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: SJ ACCESS – STUDENT HOTSPOT DATE: April 29, 2021 PROGRAM OVERVIEW Approved Date 4/29/2021 INFORMATION This memorandum provides a detailed overview of the SJ Access – Student Hotspot program, which has provided 12,800 student households with a hotspot and a high-speed unlimited data plan for the main purpose of connecting to distance learning. As noted in the Rules and Open Government Committee Meeting on April 7, 2021, an Informational Memorandum was requested to provide an overview of the Student Hotspot program, in lieu of the deferred Annual Report of the Education and Digital Literacy Strategy, to be heard by the Neighborhood Services and Education Committee in Fall 2021. A single page overview of the program is provided as Attachment A. School Closures On March 13, 2020, the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) announced that beginning on Monday, March 16, 2020, schools in Santa Clara County would shift to distance learning in response to growing cases of COVID-19 in the community. This closure was originally announced for a three-week duration and preceded the March 16 announcement of a regional Shelter-in-Place order. With few exceptions, schools remained closed and relied on distance learning programs through June 2020, and remained closed for the majority of the 2020- 2021 school year until April 2021, when Local Education Agencies (LEAs) began large-scale reopening plans, many of which include a hybrid learning approach (leveraging both distance and in-person learning). Addressing Insufficient Connectivity On April 21, 2020, staff provided the City Council with an update on digital access and inclusion efforts, specifically related to the need to assist schools and students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing the Needs of the Homeless: A San José Library Partnership Approach In 2003, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library opened its doors to the diverse San José, California community. The joint city-university library system consisting of San Jose Public and the San Jose State University Libraries won national acclaim for its architectural design (Berry III, 2004), including two sets of main doors which permit entrance from the city side with a clear view into the campus on the university side. This architectural feature permits a person, independent of his or her economic means, to enter the main city library building and “see” the possibility of entering the campus to earn a degree and advance socially, economically, and professionally.
