"From being involved in a student organization, I realized that there's more to college than getting a degree. It provided me the opportunity to take on a position and test my leadership skills. It challenged my abilities to work towards a goal with a diverse group of individuals with different thoughts and perspectives. Being involved also made me realize how much I can offer to others with knowledge and experienced I have, but also learn from others the things I am unaware of." - Glenn Salonga, SJSU Graphic Arts Major

"From being involved in a student organization, I learned that the limits to my abilities have not been found. I learned that nobody but myself can actually tell me how much I can accomplish, and I learned that I have the capability to surprise even myself." - Vosa Cavu-Litman, 2009 SJSU Alumnus
