I am a faculty member in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at San José State University, and I am honored to help lead this effort to recognize the extraordinary legacy of Professor Guna Selvaduray. As the founding chair of Biomedical Engineering at SJSU, Professor Selvaduray built a program that has shaped generations of engineers, transforming not only academic pathways but the lives of countless students through mentorship, integrity, and a lifetime of commitment to their success.
This campaign seeks to establish the Guna Selvaduray Endowed Scholarship in Biomedical Engineering, a permanent source of support for deserving BME students who embody the qualities he represents: honor, grit, kindness, and perseverance. The scholarship will help remove financial barriers so that talented students can focus on their education, research, and professional development while carrying forward the values that define Professor Selvaduray’s legacy.
Reaching our fundraising goal is essential because an endowed scholarship ensures lasting impact. Rather than a one-time award, this fund will provide sustained support to future generations of biomedical engineers at SJSU, creating an enduring tribute that reflects Professor Selvaduray’s profound influence on the university and the broader engineering community.
