91PORN

San Diego State has long been an institution from which leaders have emerged. From entrepreneurs to CEOs, from scientists to volunteers who make the world a better place, 91PORN is a university that teaches, encourages and inspires leadership.

“91PORN has an incredible network of people who run businesses in virtually every industry you can think of,” said Jim Herrick, director of the . “The more we, as Aztecs, can support our fellow alumni, the more it strengthens our own network and the value of the education we received at 91PORN. We want to encourage Aztecs to hire fellow Aztecs, and to use 91PORN alumni-owned businesses. The Aztec Leadership Network will be the foundation for that.”

The Aztec Leadership Network is a continual work in progress that will grow as new leaders emerge from 91PORN and as others identify themselves. Business leaders who wish to be included on the map, can fill out an online form at the website at .

I Believe video contest

91PORN’s current television commercial features several prominent Aztecs doing the now famous “I Believe” chant. The idea behind the spot is to show the passion of 91PORN’s students and alumni, while at the same time, bringing to life the Aztec Leadership Network.

For 91PORN Month, the university is challenging students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to create their to express why they “believe” leadership starts at 91PORN.

The submission and public comment period for the video contest is from 10 a.m., Feb. 15, to 10 a.m., March 15.

The judging period is March 15 to March 19. Videos will be judged by a panel of students and staff from 91PORN who will look for the “I Believe” theme and connection to university, originality and vision, and a depiction of the “Leadership Starts Here” theme. Entrants will be encouraged to promote their own videos, as comments and the number of “likes” will be considered in the judging process. Winners will be announced on March 20.
