“Receiving this award is a HUGE honor for me! I'm a first generation college student and ever since I have started college I have given it 110%, many don't know this but in my 5 years in college I have received President's Scholar each semester, but this is even more special because I am finally getting recognized for these achievements.”

“With an incredibly diverse community and people from all different educational backgrounds, SJSU Spartans continue to motivate me to accomplish my goals. I am a Spartan through my desire to be an individual that displays leadership and motivates others to succeed.”
The planning committee for the honors convocation has representatives from each college and from various departments.
History
The Honors Convocation was inaugurated in 1962 by three honor societies, Phi Kappa Phi, Sigma Xi and Phi Beta Kappa Faculty Club, to recognize and encourage superior academic achievement at the University.
