San Jose State University is celebrating YOU, our commuter students, during Commuter Appreciation Week from March 10th to 13th! We’ve packed the week with exciting events designed to support, connect, and appreciate our valuable commuter community. Get ready for a week of resources, relaxation, and fun!

Kick things off on Monday, March 10th, with the Commuter Student Resource Fair (12 PM - 3 PM, Peer Connections). This one-stop-shop offers free snacks, free commuter shirts (while supplies last), and connections to a wealth of on and off-campus resources, covering everything from transportation and housing to academic support and off-campus entertainment. A “How to Apply to Graduate School” workshop will be held from 1 PM to 2 PM. The fun continues with DIY Family Fun on Tuesday, March 11th (4 PM - 7 PM, Student Union). This program is perfect for college students and their families, offering creative crafting activities, delicious snacks, and a relaxing atmosphere.

The week continues with Commuter Spa Day on Wednesday, March 12th (1 PM - 4 PM, Meeting Room 2). Indulge in complimentary refreshments, relax in massage chairs, receive a free spa kit, unwind in a cozy reading corner, and connect with fellow commuters. Finally, don’t miss the Mini Free Farmer’s Market on Thursday, March 13th (11 AM - 2 PM, 7th Street Plaza). This event offers free seasonal produce (one grocery bag per person, bags provided), a resource fair with information on food, nutrition, and wellness, recipe samples, and a live cooking demo.
