The Sbona Honors Program at the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business will be holding an information session for prospective students. The event will be held Nov. 3, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. The Sbona Honors Information Night is an event for prospective honor students to attend to learn more about the program, ask questions and talk to existing honor students and faculty.
Gary J. Sbona Honors Program is the Honors Practicum for the Lucas College of Business. It was started in 2006 to best prepare our top students for the world of global work by providing them with an opportunity to get real on the job experience as part of their college curriculum. In the best of alumni traditions, Gary J. Sbona, a San Jose State College of Business Alum and successful businessman, agreed to sponsor the program and has committed a substantial amount of money to support the program.
Students must be selected in order to participate in the honors program. The selection process includes a review of academic transcripts, resumes, and a written essay, and for those who qualify, a face to face interview. Students are evaluated for their academic results in key courses as well as prior work experience, school activities, and their ability to communicate both orally and in writing.
Students in the program will work together in teams with other similarly qualified students on a significant and meaningful project at a major organization in Silicon Valley where they can apply what they have learned in the classroom to real world business problems. Students will gain much sought after work experience in high profile projects that will greatly enhance your educational experience and give you a significant edge over other new entrants in the job market.
The event will be held at the San Jose State University main campus. Registration for the event is not required.
