Student Testimonials

Rowan Rajani '25 Psychology

When I was a freshman, CAPISE was not established, and I felt very isolated and alone in my experience. CAPISE gave me a place to explore not only my cultural identity, but how my other identities inform and influence my experiences and time here at San Jose State. I feel more connected to myself, my peers, and my community.

Student Affairs does a great job of empowering students to be innovators and create your own path to success. And I think that the Student Affairs' Student Involvement department is the #1 resource for students on campus.

One of the best decisions I made while being a student at SJSU is making the decision to be a Peer Educator for 3 years. I took on different roles to support and guide my fellow students. As an S.I. Leader for the first 2 years, I facilitated group tutoring sessions in Biology and Chemistry. These interactive sessions allowed my peers to grasp high-yield topics and enhance their academic success, which was very rewarding for me to witness. Thank you to Student Affairs and the Peer Connections team!
