SAN JOSE, Calif.—Continuing to build champions in the classroom, San José State University student-athletes excelled in the classroom as 124 student-athletes and cheer and dance squad members will be recognized as either a President's Scholar or Dean's Scholar at San José State.
The 61st annual Honors Convocation, to be held on Wednesday, April 12 at 6 p.m. inside the Provident Credit Union Event Center, will recognize undergraduate students designated as President's Scholars for the Spring and/or Fall 2022 semesters.
