Access magazine seeks to explore the creative forces that drive the students, staff and faculty at San Jose State University — a storied institution of higher learning at the convergence of history and innovation that is Silicon Valley. Technology, art, tradition, defiance and progress continuously shape SJSU, the city of San Jose and the Bay Area.

The Access staff brings readers the best of the local arts and culture scene, through the eyes of the students who are creating, consuming and critiquing it.
