Every once in a while you have to clean house. With so many colleges, departments, auxiliaries and administrative offices creating communications in their own style, we have been presenting quite a fractured face to the rest of the world. This creates an impression of disunity on- and off-campus, which SJSU hardly deserves.
San José State University is an extraordinary place. It is one of America's major urban teaching universities and has an unmatched record for graduating capable men and women who go on to work in the world's most dynamic, entrepreneurial region. We provide solid professional preparation for more than 6,000 graduates each year. We serve an extremely diverse population. For 150 years, SJSU has partnered with businesses and local government to drive Silicon Valley's success. In all sectors of the community -- from artists to engineers, educators to journalists, business to political leaders -- San José State's impact is second to none.
This new visual system will help tell that story to the world.
We know you're proud of your work within the university. You may not know that others are proud of you, too. When people talk about SJSU, they're quite complimentary.
In a blind survey done in August 2007, we asked people to name the top four universities in the Bay Area. SJSU came in third -- right after Berkeley and Stanford. SJSU also consistently ranked between third and fifth against UC, CSU and private colleges from San Diego to Chico for academic quality, popularity and reputation with employers.
Best of all, our reputation is on the rise. On almost every score, our rankings were significantly higher in 2007 than they were in 2006. We're one of the most well-regarded universities of California -- and now we're going to look the part.
