Friends,

I’m incredibly proud of SJSU’s Class of 2013. Here’s a glimpse of Saturday’s warm, upbeat commencement ceremonies in Spartan Stadium.

We also celebrated a special graduate; watch this testimonial video.

Over the summer I’ll utilize my blog to update you on key campus initiatives and my activities.

As Spartans, we don’t let real or imagined boundaries hold us back. Embracing what connects us is at the heart of our creativity and the big, bold ideas that drive us—and our fine university—forward.
