Tech execs come to SJSU

The Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering here at SJSU is hosting its seventh annual Silicon Valley Leaders Symposium. The free lectures are every Thursday from 12-1pm.

As in previous years, our colleagues/rivals in engineering have put together an impressive list of speakers. Among the highlights:

• Oct. 16: Dr. Prith Banerjee, Director, HP Labs
• Oct. 23: Mr. Brian Halla, Chairman/CEO, National Semiconductor
• Nov. 6: Dr. Greg Papadopoulos, Chief Technology Officer, Sun Microsystems
• Nov. 13: Dr. Craig Barrett, Chairman of the Board, Intel

The sessions are held in ENGR 189, which is located in ground floor of the engineering building just north of the student center (or one block south of 8th & San Fernando).
