• Teamwork
  We believe that it is necessary to work collaboratively, not only among our staff, with SJSU students/campus/ community partners to create varied perspectives so that we can reach broad, and intentional, representation of our students.
• Transparency
  We believe that it is necessary to have open communication with students, as well as stakeholders, about planning, developing, and implementation of programs and services that our office provides as a means to create a positive community.
