LURIE COLLEGE DAY OF GIVING
|
|
|
|
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!"

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.

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!
