San Jose State University - CA, California
President: Robert Corrigan
Business faculty at San Jose State University draw upon their professional network of neighborhood contacts to create opportunities to serve the community. Building off the network, faculty have developed courses in which students help local businesses design marketing campaigns and refine their management information systems. The university s newly-formed Incubator Without Walls has served more than one hundred existing or potential businesses in the community.
The Upper Midwest Campus Compact Consortium's Student Civic Leadership Institute was the most amazing thing that I have experienced in a long, long time. It is truly what my soul has been searching for. It is justification for all the hard work we do, from Student Senate to service-learning. I returned a rejuvenated and refreshed student who is willing and ready to begin the change.
