Spartan MD is an RSO that strives to inspire, support, and inform pre-med students through all steps of the pre-medical process; their goal is to increase the rate of SJSU students who are admitted into medical school. The group helps students explore the many career options in medicine, make informed decisions, and navigate the premed process. Additionally, they offer MCAT preparation support and networking opportunities with local medical students and medical schools. One member shared, “I would say the best part about being involved in this club is specifically how we tend to bring students together by giving them a sense of support they need in order to succeed in becoming the aspiring physicians they want to be, especially they all have to go through this complex journey. And with that, we are not only being there for them but we are also creating this sense of community for all of them.” Club leaders are motivated by the quote “the good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease” (William Osler).

Women in Aviation started at SJSU in 1990 with the mission of promoting the vast industry of aviation and aerospace to all Spartans. @womeninaviationsjsu is proud to represent and uplift women in a predominantly male field. One member’s favorite part of being involved with WIA is “is the countless friends of similar interests that I’ve been able to make, and knowing that they will be good friends with me for life.” They also shared that Women in Aviation “is NOT a club that is only for women. It is also not only for those whose major is aviation. We’re an unofficial collegiate chapter of Women in Aviation International…that is most focused on professional development and networking, not an exclusively female club.” Many club members attend the Women in Aviation International annual professional conference with 5000+ attendees. Members also have access to a large pool of scholarships and real-life mentors! Contact them at women.in.aviation.sjsu@gmail.com to learn more.
