Society for the Advancement of Management SJSU Chapter

SAM Updates!

Hi all! Just a few updates for SAM members that I wanted to share.

First off, we’d like to remind everyone that there are a few great events on the horizon - Cisco will be speaking next Wednesday at 4:30pm in the BBC 003 room. This is a great opportunity to learn more about this excellent organization and what opportunities may be available for management & business students. Also, on Saturday don’t miss the College of Business 7th Street Barbeque at the 7th Street BBQ pits (outside of the Spartan Events Center in the center of campus) at Noon on Saturday, April 19th. Come out and network with professors, other motivated students from the COB, as well as local professionals that are active on SJSU’s business campus.

We’re sorry to announce that Parsha Ostadsharif has resigned his position of Controller due to personal reasons. We wish him the best of luck and hope that he will return to SAM this fall. Sagar Chokshi will be taking over his duties, and we’re confident that he’ll be able to take the reigns and continue to organize our funds and finances as the semester wraps up.

We’re also disappointed to announce that we have canceled our End of the Year Banquet. We’ve decided that rather than throwing an event at the last minute, we will focus our energy and resources towards planning out an awesome Fall 2008 lineup of speakers, events, and opportunities for SAM members.

We’ve added some new links to our resources section (located at the bottom of the column to the right) including Guy Kawasaki, BNet, and Valleywag. These are some of the leading resources for Silicon Valley based business people, and hopefully you’ll find them useful. Of course, if you have more suggestions for links and resources that you’d like us to add, please email web@samsjsu.org with your suggestions.

Updated Facebook Group

Well, in getting in the spirit of being socially-networked, we’ve gone ahead and updated our Facebook group. If you’re a member of SAM, click here to visit the SAM SJSU Facebook Group page and click the “Join this Group” link in the top-right corner. This is a great way to keep connected with SAM members outside of the classroom and our meetings, and hopefully can spark some friendships that go beyond the group.

Also, if you’re interested in joining our LinkedIn group, just email LinkedIn@SAMSJSU.org to receive an invitation to the group. LinkedIn is one of the best ways to keep your business relationships in one place, and can provide you with valuable connections and introductions as you’re making your way through your future career(s)! Click here to visit LinkedIn and start a profile if you haven’t already.

Also, another reminder, come see Enterprise Rent-A-Car tomorrow (Wednesday, March 19th) at 4:30pm in the BBC 003 room, and don’t forget to schedule the 4th Street Pizza social on Thursday afternoon as well.
