The importance of attending college is not only to get a degree, but to get an education! At San José State University (SJSU), you do not have to limit your education to inside the classroom. Through co-curricular activities, students develop critical thinking skills; practice effective communication; build multicultural competence; learn the importance of active citizenship; gain practical competence/life skills; discover their leadership and interpersonal style; and overall, feel more connected to their peers, staff, faculty, and the overall campus community. You will find countless opportunities for getting involved at SJSU, but taking the first step can be difficult. We challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and explore new opportunities. Mission: Grounded in our commitment to the values of inclusivity, integrity, and success, we provide opportunities for students to engage and develop. We promote community, leadership and learning through our innovative programs and services. Vision: We aspire to provide transformational experiences through purposeful engagement to enhance student services.
