San José State University (SJSU)

Bridge Bank is a proud supporter of SJSU’s Tower Foundation which assists with the development, investment, administration and banking of all philanthropic donations. We fund scholarships each year for the program’s students, with many SJSU alumni going on to begin their careers with Bridge Bank. As a title sponsor of the annual SJSU Economic Summit since 2011, we provide local business leaders with relevant information to make educated business decisions. This free event focuses on the analysis and forecast of economic activity at the local, state and national level.

Bridge Bank’s commitment also supports the Center for Banking and Financial Services (CBFS) in SJSU’s College of Business which works to establish partnerships between San José State University's Lucas College and Graduate School of Business and local financial institutions, like Bridge Bank. Those partnerships, in turn, provide SJSU's students with opportunities to gain knowledge and explore career opportunities available to them in the banking and financial services industry.

In May 2024, Bridge Bank hosted finance students from San José State University, providing them a valuable learning experience and an opportunity to explore potential career opportunities in the industry. The students met with Bridge Bank leadership and team members, who talked about their responsibilities and the personal and professional rewards of working in the banking and finance industry.
