The latest issue of SJSU Magazine tells the stories of Spartans who have transformed industries strengthened communities and how it started by earning their edge at SJSU. The 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients represent the very best of San José State University. They are artists, advocates, innovators, entrepreneurs, educators and leaders whose impact reaches far beyond campus. Their journeys reflect the power of perseverance, purpose and service. They remind us that a Spartan education is not defined by where it begins, but by how it is used to make a difference in the world. These stories are more than a celebration of achievement. They are a testament to what is possible when talent meets opportunity and when success is measured by the lives we touch along the way.
