Challenged
with the sacred task of upholding the time honored traditions,
as well as showing continuous love and support for
all things San Jose State, we are your leaders of Spartan
Squad: The Squad Leads.
|
Each year, a few extradorinary students voluntarily come together
to go above and beyond the call of duty. Distinguished by the custom-made "San
Jose State" blue and gold striped neckties, we can be seen leading
the chants and cheers at various sporting events.
And not only that, but large-scale events like the annual Ice Cream Social Kickoff and Spartan Basketball Showcase are almost exclusively thought up, maintained, and run by the student Squad Leads (with much appreciated help from SJSU Athletics and Associated Students, of course).
We love reaching out to the new faces we see, both young and old, wandering
about Spartan Stadium, The Event Center or anywhere else. We value approaching
students with BIG smiles on our faces and pulling them over to where they
belong: OUR very proud student section!
We work together to organize tabling awareness campaigns, set up t-shirt
distribution tents and just plain have fun getting our colleagues pumped
up for games.
As Squad Leads, we volunteer our hours and
energy because we understand that what we do serves a greater good. What
we do is bigger than anyone of us individually. Even the smallest of
tasks benefits our peers, our university and the community. It amplifies
the "college experience" at SJSU and (if we are successful)
we be remembered forever by all of those we touch.
Finally, the last thing you should know about us, the SQUAD LEADS, is
the fact we are all FRIENDS. We make it a point to all go out and just have some good ol' fashon fun. Whether its bowling
in the Student Union or enjoying some hot wings over at University Chicken to watch an away game on television,
its all about hanging out together and sharing in the good times.
