Welcome to the OSU Cascades Communication and Sustainable Development Blog

Welcome to the Communication and Sustainable Development blog. This blog has been created in connection with a course at Oregon State University-Cascades, COMM 412-512, Communication and Sustainable Development.

I hope you will check this blog periodically to read and comment on posts. Students in the course this term (Spring 2011) will be sharing their ideas about communication, sustainability, and sustainable development on this blog site.

I will provide links to interesting websites regarding communication, sustainability, and and sustainable development. I encourage you to do so as well.
