The Quarterly Newsletter of the Department of Communication at the University of California, San DiegoAs the Communication Department began to flourish, it sought to publicize its work and its development. One early means of announcing itself was through ComNotes, a quarterly report on all things Comm.
The 1990-1997 ComNotes are archived here.
ComNotes was primarily assembled by grad, staffer, and department tech-guru Bruce Jones; if you have comments, you can e-mail him at bjones@weber.ucsd.edu.
