CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH 2024
|
| |
|
| |
A message from Chief Diversity Officer, Kristin Nicole Dukes, PhD
Dear Campus Community,
On Wednesday, June 19, 2024, we will celebrate Juneteenth, a day that Black and African American families and communities have celebrated for many years, paying tribute to their culture, strength and perseverance by commemorating the end of slavery in America. The campus will not be open for university business on Wednesday, June 19th in observance of the holiday.
Our campus community is commemorating Juneteenth in a number of ways, including participating in the California State University (CSU) System second biennial
Juneteenth Symposium
being held June 13-14, 2024 in Sacramento. The 2024 Juneteenth Symposium is designed to elevate the celebration and recognition of African American history and achievement while promoting and sustaining the anti-racism work underway across the CSU’s 23 campuses. SJSU is sending a delegation of more than 25 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and local community members to attend the symposium in person. All campus community members are invited to attend the symposium virtually. Register to attend the live stream using this link.
Additionally, SJSU is proud to be a sponsor of Santa Clara County’s African American Community Service Agency's (AACSA) 43rd Annual Juneteenth Celebration being held June 15, 12:00pm - 7:00PM, downtown San Jose, CA in the SoFA District (South 1st Street). This year we will also be tabling and interacting with participants to share information about our institution, highlighting the wonderful programs, research, and opportunities available. If you’re interested in volunteering to table, please sign up! Snacks will be provided for volunteers.
As we take time to celebrate Juneteenth as a community, we also encourage you to continue identifying and taking steps towards addressing systemic racism and discrimination towards Black communities. Juneteenth is not only a day for celebration, it is an opportunity for us to continue the legacy of the work towards freedom and liberation.

TEACHING AND THINKING WITH A.I.
WEBINAR SERIES

|
| |
The CSU is offering a series of webinars on Teaching and Thinking with A.I., led by José Antonio Bowen, this month. Register separately for each webinar to attend live. To attend, join from a CSU Zoom account. Links to request access to recordings will be posted here as soon as they are available.

AI Grading, Detection and Policies
June 17, 2024 -- 10am PST (120m)
AI is also changing how we think about average. If an AI can produce consistent "C" work, then we need to update our policies around grading: why would an employer hire a “C” student if AI can do that level of work? Together, we will design new rubrics for an AI era that articulate how human ‘quality’ goes beyond AI. We will discuss what policies and practices improve motivation and decrease cheating, and why.
AI Assignments and Assessments
June 24, 2024 -- 10am PST (120m)
All assignments are now AI Assignments. In the same way that the ease of finding information on the internet forced faculty to rethink what homework students did and how we wanted them to do it, we will all need an AI strategy for assignments and assessment. We will cover both ways to force students to write and alternative creative assignments that incorporate AI. Through a wide diversity of examples, we will also consider how we can reduce cheating and raise standards.
Register for June 24

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!"
