Laurie Anderson is (expletive deleted) AWESOME! You should give her lots of money and kisses. She reminded me of the sacred revolutionary day which lies at the core of why I chose this occupation. This is something which I need every once in a while. I hope that you continue to bring her to SJSU.

Thank you for the beautiful, witty, and inspirational speech/ pep talk! I thought I’d walk away wanting to finish my novel; However, the rhythm of the speech- with stories, stand-up comedy, reflective nostalgia and encouragement instead makes me want to write a speech of my own on Monday for the students (re Revolution and its correction to literature) Thank you!

Dear Laurie, The inspiration you delivered for teachers was quite unexpected for me and yes, it felt good. You were another boost to my mind and soul as my theme plays out, “The Year I Become Human.” I was very proud to share your personal narrative with my granddaughter. You’re a great model! Thank you!
