Alumni Legacy Story
12. GRANDMA CASADAY STARTED A SPARTAN TREND
California Water Service chief engineer Todd Peters ’92
wrote to let us know his clan counts as multi-generational Spartans. “My
grandmother, my parents, my sister and my wife all attended SJSU,” he says.
Here’s the Casaday/Peters Spartan line-up.
Roma (Durant) Casaday attended California State Normal
School in the early 1930s.
Sheryl (Casaday) Peters, Roma's daughter, received her
BA in Elementary Education in 1961 and is now a retired elementary school
teacher.
Gary Peters, Sheryl's husband, received his BA in
Industrial Arts in 1961, his MA in Industrial Arts in 1963, and is a retired
junior high and high school teacher.
Todd Peters, Gary and Sheryl's son, received his BS in
Civil Engineering in 1992 and is currently chief engineer of the California
Water Service Co.
Belinda (Peters) Blackie, Gary and Sheryl's daughter,
received her MS in Civil Engineering in 1993 and currently works as an
environmental engineering consultant.
Michelle (Razura) Peters, Todd's wife, received her BS in Health Science
in 1995 and most recently worked in the Human Resources Department at Cisco
Systems.
Todd further reports: “Both of my parents (Sheryl and Gary) lived at home
when they attended SJSU. My mom was very appreciative of the fact that they were
required to have more student teaching experience than other colleges at the
time (for instance, Stanford) because she felt student teaching prepared her for
the real world better than any class could. Both my parents, in addition to
their degrees, received their teaching credentials at SJSU and were both career
teachers.”
Sister Belinda’s favorite SJSU memory? Participating in “an environmental
engineering graduate research project in the Pajaro River with other grad
students and having one of them get stuck in the mud in the river bed.” The
stuck grad student was freed by her comrades, but her “boots remain there to
this day.” Todd lived on campus in Hoover Dorm for two years and later shared an
apartment at 7th & Reed with three other engineering students.
“My best memories,” he says, “are of the social aspects of campus life (the
dorms, the "new" rec center and pool, the on-campus pub, fraternity parties).
Our group of engineering friends worked hard in a tough major to get good grades
but still found a way to have a great time socially on campus.” Todd was also a
member of the Spartan Marching Band and in 1987 “had a great time traveling to
the Cal Bowl in Fresno.”

Besides the enrolled students, more than 300 additional students pursue practical training and research at SJSU. Says Novak, "Students say they choose SJSU because we offer a multicultural experience, have excellent programs, a dedicated faculty, and our programs meet their career goals," he adds. The top five countries represented by numbers of SJSU's international students are: India, Taiwan, Japan, People's Republic of China and Indonesia. For graduate students, engineering disciplines (electrical, computer, general) are the most popular areas of study, followed by business, and linguistics and language development.
18. SJSU STUDENT MEETS PRESIDENT BUSH
Arash Shokouhbakhsh, an SJSU junior majoring in computer engineering, met President George W. Bush and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was invited to serve on a panel at Cisco Systems with CEO John Chambers last week. The panel focused on global competitiveness, technology and education. Shokouhbakhsh told the San José Mercury News that SJSU won a seat at the table because, "We are central to Silicon Valley and supply most of the workforce that keeps the valley competitive in the face of China and India." In what local broadcast coverage called the most poignant moment of the discussion, President Bush pointed to Shokouhbakhsh and commented that he is an example of how people can dream big dreams in America.
