California Normal School Bell
Currently located in the Spartan Rose Garden, the bell was commissioned for the California State Normal School in 1862. Weighing in at 3,000 pounds, the bell rang every morning at 8am until the 1906 earthquake. The Spartan Rose Garden was reestablished on the campus of San Jose State University in 2007 to mark the school’s 150th birthday.
 
Arch of Dignity
The César E. Chávez Monument: Arch of Dignity, Equality and Justice was designed by Judith F. Baca in 2008. The monument is a 22-foot tall arch topped with a glass eagle, the U.F.W.’s emblem. Decorative tile murals depict people, concepts, symbols and historical events central to Chávez’s life and the movement he led.
 
Tower Hall
At 105 years old, Tower Hall is the centerpiece of San Jose State University. Built in 1910 to replace a previous building damaged in the earthquake of 1906, Tower Hall is the oldest structure on the SJSU campus. The building is still used as a lecture hall and serves as the office of the presidential administration.
 
Tommie Smith and John Carlos
During the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, United States track athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos were awarded medals for their athletic efforts. However, the great athletic feat would soon be shadowed by one of the most memorable moments in the American Civil Rights Movement. Tommie Smith and John Carlos would protest the poor treatment of African-American people in the United States and stood to empower the African American community.
 
The Spartan Memorial Chapel
The Spartan Memorial Chapel is a spiritual location for SJSU students, faculty, staff and alumni. The Spartan Memorial hosts memorial services for alumni and devotional events for the campus community.
