Hamid Khani, a faculty member at San Francisco State University, finds that using personal stories as a way of reaching others represents the confluence of communications and community. Khani offers courses in which students develop public service announcements for local nonprofit agencies, engaging in the full range of production and ending the course with a finished product. Additional videos produced through the communications department at SFSU have helped raise awareness of service-learning by following the stories of student volunteers and the communities they serve.
