Hi Sam Members,

The the past two days, we’ve had a few events, the Sonoma Chicken Scoop and a guest speaker from Hyatt. I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank everybody who came out to Sonoma and support us with our fundraiser.

I would also like to thank those who came out to listen to Vasuki. I hope you learned and got some useful information from the guest speaker today. For those who were not able to make it Vasuki gave out a few useful information such as the job search website for hyatt which is “http://hyatt.jobs”

Thanks again for coming, and hope to see you all at our next event.

Power Networking Social

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!

2008 SJSU Day of Service

admin — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 03:25:02 +0000

You probably couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to spend in the city of San Jose – and that’s just what a few of us SAM members did today to help out our community. The 2nd Annual San Jose State University Day of Service kicked off Friday, April 25th, and SAM was in attendance with several members – Jay Patel, Hiwat Abebe, Dave Cole, Cecilia Melgar, and Anna Mendez.

For this year’s event, we were chosen to help clean up the river area by the Guadalupe Park Riverwalk, stretching all the way from Highway 280 down to HP Pavilion. Sure we got a little dirty, but the results of our efforts were well worth the while – we filled an entire pickup truck bed with trash that we collected down just one small stretch of the river. It’s amazing how much garbage collects that we don’t even notice!

After we finished our clean up efforts, we returned to San Jose State for an afternoon barbeque, as well as some fun and games. Overall, it was a very worthwhile event and we’re proud to represent not only the SAM organization, but also our university and the community we call our home. Make sure to keep an eye out for another event next year!

Cisco Speaker: May 7th

admin — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:01:01 +0000

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.

This is the last SAM meeting of the semester so come on out, socialize, and set up some plans for summer!

If you have any questions, be sure to email events@samsjsu.org.

Review: How to Build Wealth Workshop

admin — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:26:08 +0000

Today’s How to Build Wealth Workshop was a great event that gave students the opportunity to stop thinking like workers and start thinking like investors. Carroll Buck provided a great summary of the keys to value and wealth creation, and provided several real-life examples for getting started right out of college.

Central to his discussion was thinking about ways to discover and build value. His three suggestions were to find ways to FIND value, CREATE value, and HOLD value.

Did you attend this event? If so, post a comment and let us know your thoughts! Want to get a hold of Professor Buck? Email him directly at Buck_C@cob.sjsu.edu
