Hello Friend,
 
 
Greetings Spartan!

On April 13th, Lurie College students, staff, and faculty joined forces with the Student Success Center to meet with hundreds of  future Spartans and their families who came out to celebrate Admitted Spartan Day 2024.

Our team had a great time getting to know our future Lurie College students while sharing about our impactful program pathways and opportunities and look forwarding to welcoming our Lurie College students in the fall.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Patty Swanson on Sunday, March 24, 2024.

Patty was a Professor of Teacher Education in the Connie L. Lurie College of Education and had been with SJSU since 1997. 

We are in contact with the Swanson family and share our condolences with the family. Our thoughts are with them and those who were a friend or colleague of Patty. 

​​In her honor, we have established the Patty Swanson Endowed Scholarship. You can give in honor of Patty by visiting giving.sjsu.edu/pswansonschp.

As we grieve the loss of a member of our Spartan community, LifeMatters® by Empathia is available for employees who would like to speak to a grief counselor.

LCOE STUDENT HARDSHIP FUND
 
 
The Connie L. Lurie College of Education makes funds available to support students who have experienced an unforeseen financial hardship that will prevent them from continuing their enrollment. Most often cited are the challenges of meeting the costs of living (transportation, rent, and other expenses) during the unpaid student teaching/ counseling requirements for becoming an educator.

 
 
"I am very grateful to have received the Hardship Grant! Because of the funding, the cost of gas for my internship has been covered which is really helpful for me. I'm really grateful that the Hardship Grant exists because it increases the equity for students who are financially insecure. Thank you so much to the committee and donors!"

A message from Janene Perez, Director of Alumni Engagement

The Alumni Association recently sent out the invitation for our annual Celebration of Alumni Excellence event. I'm hoping to enlist your support by spreading the word as well! Please join us, and encourage your faculty and alums you are connected to, to register soon (faculty can register as recent alumni so they will not be charged). You can also   visit our website  for updates as we continue to add to our speaker list. 

Lastly, it's never too soon to start planning for next year! I'd love your suggestions for panelists and program additions for 2025.

Thank you!
