The Student Organization Recognition Banquet at San José State University is an annual event that recognizes the achievements of over 300 student organizations! In addition to a memorable awards ceremony, the evening also includes student performances, dinner, and over 300 SJSU attendees that include SJSU students, staff, and administrators.
These prestigious awards are designed to recognize excellence in an organization's programming, community-building, scholarship and leadership endeavors. We hope to recognize organizations, officers, members, and advisors who made exceptional contributions to the campus throughout the year.
This year's theme of Sustainability aims to create a greener event that supports global sustainability, along with emphasizing the importance of student organizational sustainability.
Congratulations to all our winners!
