Welcome back SJSU! SAM is eager to present our first meeting of the semester which should start off things off on the right foot – our Power Networking Social. This unique event will provide 2 things: the opportunity to meet other motivated business-minded students, as well as the chance to earn some experience with networking. There’s possibly no skill more important to your career than the ability to easily and openly meet new people, and hopefully an event like this will help you become more comfortable with the process.
When: Tuesday, September 9, 2008, 5:00pm
Where: Student Union, Ohlone Room
This event will also provide you the chance to meet existing SAM members and officers and find out about the exciting open officer positions that we have available that you might want to volunteer for. The Power Networking Social is free to attend and open to any and all San Jose State students. Look forward to seeing you there!

SAM, in association with the Entrepreneurial Society (ES) is holding a special speaker event. Chris Zephro from Seagate will be speaking on Throughput Decision Support: A Better Alternative to Cost Accounting.
Also – as if it’s tech week or something! (it’s not by the way) – don’t forget Cisco speaking at SAM on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30pm in BBC 004.
The Cisco meeting has been moved back a week so that our speaker can make the meeting due to a scheduling conflict that arose this last week. So, instead of April 23rd, Cisco will be speaking at our usual time and place – BBC 003 at 4:30pm on May 7th. Be sure to come by to learn more about what this dynamic Silicon Valley powerhouse has to share, including career opportunities, new business opportunities that they are creating and going after, as well as some of the challenges that face technology-company managers in their day-to-day lives.
One of the most profitable, popular, and powerful retailing companies in the world is coming to San Jose State to speak with the Society for the Advancement of Management. Target – you’ve shopped the stores, now find out what it’s like to work for this fantastically innovative organization. Learn about how they’re able to compete against rivals such as Wal Mart and KMart, establish great relationships with customers and employees, and find out more about how you might fit within their company. Resumes will be accepted at the end of the speaking engagement. Target: 4:30pm, Wednesday April 16th, BBC 003
Also – once you’re wrapped with Target, make sure not to miss our Bowling Social! Taking place on campus at the campus bowling alley, the Bowling Social is a joint event with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM – pronounced “Sherm”). Bring your management game and challenge some HR players to a friendly & competitive evening of bowling, laughs, networking, and socializing. Members or prospective members only. No cost to play. Bowling Social: 6:00pm, Wednesday April 16th, Student Union Bowling Alley
