This unique event will feature a catered 3-course dinner, a formal graduate roll call, photo opportunities, and lots of opportunities to mix and mingle with students, friends, family, and faculty. SAM has partnered with FMA to continue our efforts to bring the best student groups together! See you there!

The event is at a special time and place: Tuesday May 6th at 9pm in BBC 004 (downstairs Boccardo Business building).

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.

Look forward to seeing you all out to these great events!

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!

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.

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.

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
