"Beginning grad school, as a first generation college student, I had extreme imposter syndrome. I believed grad school would be difficult and I would have a hard time. With the help of the amazing staff at the King Library, I was able to find that information was not far from my reach and I always had help when I struggled. The instructional videos and chat option available helped me gain confidence and know that asking for help didn't have to be a shameful, scary thing. I will always be grateful to all the professionals who take their job seriously and show genuine passion for their job and care for students." - Danielle Tipay, '26 MLIS At SJSU King Library we understand the needs of our students, and that's why we always think deeply in every aspect to support your success. #sjsulibrary #sjsu

San José State University mourns the loss of Yoshihiro “Yosh” Uchida, a beloved Spartan who passed away on Thursday at the age of 104. Yosh, as many affectionately called him, earned his bachelor’s degree in biological sciences in 1947 and an honorary doctorate in 2004 from #SJSU, and is one of the most renowned and accomplished Spartans in the history of the university. Born on April 1, 1920, in Calexico, Calif., Yosh was named San José State's first judo coach in 1940, when he enrolled as a student, and again in 1946 after he returned from four years in the U.S. Army during World War II. In 1964, he coached the U.S. judo team at the Tokyo Olympics, the first time judo appeared in an Olympics. He remained the coach of SJSU’s judo program for the rest of his life, and in 2023, was honored for 75 years of service to the university. Overall, Yosh coached the Spartans to more than 40 collegiate titles and trained nearly two dozen Olympians, including four medalists. We are incredibly proud and thankful for the impact Yosh not only made on our university, but our nation and the world. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Uchida family and the many friends, athletes and Spartans who knew Yosh.

"I adore [SJSU King Library] for numerous reasons, but one of my favorite aspects is undoubtedly the experience of studying on the 8th floor. The vistas from this vantage point are simply breathtaking and possess a genuinely therapeutic quality. Ascending in the elevator to reach this pinnacle also offers a splendid panorama, enhancing the entire journey. Thus, I find immense joy in dedicating my study and work sessions to the top floor of the library." – Ruchira Danavadi, '25 Psychology We love our 8th floor and its view as much as you do! 🏙️ #sjsulibrary #sjsu

"I love the long hours that the library provides for students, especially during finals week. I have used the library extensively as a good place for cramming for tests. Additionally, the library is the go-to place for meeting up with a group for group project. Once a library study room has been reserved, we can host important check-ins with our team to help polish our project to perfection. The books in the King Library are also a good read when I have the time." - Marcus Lang, '25 Software Engineering SJSU King Library loves to support our Spartans to aid their academic success! #sjsulibrary #sjsu

"On June 19, our community will honor Juneteenth for a day of remembrance, a day of solace, and a day of victory. We remember and honor the community that survived and set a path for us, making us strong with conviction as we seek equity. Holidays and symbols are important, but we must remember the souls that brought us to have Juneteenth. We are witnesses to injustice and inequality everyday. 'We who believe in FREEDOM cannot rest until it comes' (from Sweet Honey in the Rock-Ella’s Song). This #Juneteenth, commit to action to keep this legacy we have inherited alive. Stay the path as we move forward together until everyone is equal and free." — Kathryn Blackmer Reyes, Librarian & Director of the Africana, Asian American, Chicano, and Native American Studies Center #sjsulibrary #sjsu
