So, I was delighted to meet incoming student Sachin Syal on his show O'ChakDe, which means "Go for it!" in Punjabi. This next week he'll join our campus from Fremont — as a first-year student — in the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business at SJSU.

I'm excited to watch his continue to develop! We talked about life, education and being a college student.

Check out my interview on his podcast!
