Mexico braces for hurricane
Hurricane Dean is expected to hit the east coast of Mexico tonight or early tomorrow and forecasters say it could pack a devastating punch. Tourists are fleeing the site and residents are bracing for a potential category five storm. SFU earth sciences professor John Clague specializes in natural hazards and can talk about the power of hurricanes. He is watching developments while away today (reachable via e-mail). He will be back at SFU’s Burnaby campus on Tuesday morning.

Student films open in Montreal
Their films serve as their final projects towards a degree – but the works of 10 SFU contemporary arts students are making bigger leaps. Their films have been accepted to show at Montreal’s World Film Festival (Aug. 23 – Sept. 3). Typically four or five films are selected, but these budding film makers, from a fourth-year class of 17 students, have produced an unprecedented crop of high calibre films, says Colin Browne, associate director of the school for the contemporary arts. He can talk about a burgeoning student talent pool.
