Administration and Leadership
A Shared Vision
Leadership at San José State is defined by a belief that shared decision making and collaborative university governance is at the core of our culture. With this inclusive approach as a guide, SJSU's president and the university's leadership promote discussion and engagement among faculty, staff, students and the community to shape and accomplish the goals of San José State.
