A mural begins with more than paint. It begins with community. 💙💛

Today, members of the Filipino Alumni Network SJSU, local community members, city leaders, Dr. Cynthia Teniente-Matson, SJSU President and fellow Spartans came together for the first paint shift of the Filipino American History Mural.

Guided by mural artist and SJSU alumna Francesca “ChiChai” Mateo, each brushstroke helps bring forward the stories, heritage and lasting contributions of Filipino Americans in our community. We are honored to help create a space that reflects the voices and history of the people who continue to shape San José State and our city.

Thank you ChiChai, County of Santa Clara, California Supervisor Betty Duong, the Filipino Alumni Network, and all of our mural painters for making history on campus.

One item on all students’ semester to-do lists is purchasing textbooks or required reading for classes or other valuable learning resources that for many are a big financial investment.

That’s why the SJSU King Library offers Affordable Learning Solutions (AL$) — a number of ways students can access low-cost educational materials.

Learn how dedicated librarianship advocated for low-cost solutions ultimately saving SJSU students over $15 million over 15 years.

Our SJSU faculty educate not only students but the University and higher ed to learn, grow, and advocate in the right direction.

One of our champion tenured faculty, librarian, and and director of the of the Africana, Asian American, Chicano, and Native American (AAACNA) Studies Center at the SJSU King Library, Kathryn Blackmer Reyes, ’96 MLIS, is retiring but her lasting impact and continued advocacy surely isn't going anywhere.

Blackmer Reyes has been pivotal to the growth of the beloved AAACNA Studies Center on the fifth floor of the SJSU King Library, cultivating a space of representation and belonging to students and a collection proving resources for advanced ethnic studies research that stretched beyond the curriculum.

Blackmer Reyes's community and campus connections, cultural and research advocacy, and treasured special and institutional collections have advanced SJSU's advancement of ethnic studies in higher education.

A historic gift. A Spartan legacy generations in the making. 💙💛

Diane, '83 Management, and Chris Gordon’s connection to San José State University began as students and grew into a lifelong commitment to SJSU and Spartan Athletics. Now, they are making university history with the largest estate gift ever committed to San José State.

Their generosity is more than a gift. It is an investment in the future of SJSU, creating opportunities for generations of Spartans to come.
