On Friday Sept. 30 San Jose Public Library is joining with San Jose State University, the Mayor's Office, San Jose Unified School District, the Santa Clara County Office of Education and many other schools and community organizations to promote College Day San Jose, a day to to celebrate, inspire and promote college aspirations throughout San José by having everyone, everywhere, share their “Education Journey.”  View the stories of Francisco Jimenez, Madison Nguyen and others.

Many libraries will feature maps where you can identify the college you attended.  Library staff are encouraged to wear school t-shirts, sweatshirts or other attire.  Most of all, whether you set foot in a library that day or not, we want to encourage you to take time during that day to share your college experience with others: children, co-workers, and friends. 

• Why you did or did not go to college
• Where you went and why you chose that school
• The best and most challenging parts of your education journey
• If you could do it over again, would you make any different choices about your education?
• If you could give one piece of advice to a student about college, what would it be?

Every person's educational journey is unique to them.  Take this opportunity to share your story!
