total funded LCOE.png
 
 
Lurie College is proud to share that with the help of you and the generosity of our community we received gifts from over 52 donors to support our four projects. During the Share Your Spartan Heart Day of Giving, two projects were fully funded and Lurie College received a total of $12,200 dollars to support student success and opportunities. This is truly amazing!  Thank you for sharing your Spartan heart and for all the efforts to support the 2024 SJSU Annual Day of Giving!
 
 
 
 
 
           Continue to Support Student Success Through the Lurie College Hardship Fund                      

 
 
"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!"

                                                                               -Graduate Student, Speech Language Pathology Program
 
 
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.

The 2024-2025 scholarship applications are opening soon. Current and incoming undergraduate, graduate, credential, and doctoral students are eligible based on their academic, personal, and professional affiliations, accomplishments, and aspirations.  Please encourage students to consider applying and share the resources below!

A message from Joanne Wright, Senior Associate Vice President, University Personnel:

As previously announced by President Teniente-Matson, our new celebratory event,  Celebrating Spartans: Honoring Faculty and Staff , will be held in-person  Thursday, March 28 , and will honor Faculty and Staff who reached milestone years of service in 2023, beginning at 10 years. This new event takes the place of the previous Faculty Service Recognition & Awards Lunch and the Staff Service Celebration, bringing our campus community together to collectively celebrate these great achievements. In addition to recognizing service honorees, we will also present the Faculty and Staff awards.

View the honoree names on the  Celebrating Spartans webpage .

The program will be held from  1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.  in the  Student Union Ballroom  with a reception immediately following. As we continue our preparations for the event, we are asking you to   R.S.V.P.  now so that we can get a general idea on attendance numbers. Please note, there is no cost to attend this event.

Shout out to Krissy Hassett and her amazing job as Fieldwork Coordinator. On February 2nd, she ran our Service Learning fair, coordinating with over 12 community partners to bring service learning opportunities to our ChAD students. In addition, she very effectively reorganized our outdoor event into an indoor one at the last minute due to rain. Our community partners engaged with our department and our students are now more strongly connected with our communities. Thanks to Krissy and all of her hard work with this fair!
