At the heart of Silicon Valley, San José State University is creating a space where technology empowers the community for creativity and social good. This fall 2024, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Digital Humanities Center-a place to inspire creativity, foster inclusivity, and transform how people connect with technology.
The faculty and staff at the College of Humanities & the Arts and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library have been working with community and campus partners for over four years to make this vision a reality. The Center will offer free access to technology, expert guidance, and a collaborative environment for students, faculty, and community members to explore digital tools and bring their ideas to life.
Whether it’s creating digital storytelling projects, crafting artworks, or visualizing data-driven research, visitors will be given the training, tools and the expert support they need. They will also find a spirit of collaboration, where people will be invited to share their skills and knowledge with one another.
Thanks to the generosity of local supporters, we are in the final phase of fundraising. This year, we have raised $30,000 towards our $50,000 goal, and with $20,000 left, we need your help. Every dollar donated will be matched 1:1 by the National Endowment for the Humanities, doubling your impact.
