In 2020, Lurie College faculty Luis Poza, Eduardo Muñoz-Muñoz, and Tammie Visintainer collaborated with SJSU faculty Ahoura Zandiatashbar, California Assemblymember Robert Rivas, and the Watsonville High School ECHO Leadership Academy to better understand the impact of known gaps in broadband internet access across California’s 30th Congressional District and published a report of their findings.

Their report recently gained some visibility when it was highlighted in the Monterey County Weekly as well as on KCBS radio!  It is also being utilized to inform policy proposals at the state level such as Assembly Bill 14.
