Spartan Quarterly featured news about alumni, current and former professors, and also included a calendar of events.

Spartan Update was a monthly publication informing alumni about current events and the achievements of faculty and staff, as well as soliciting donations for the university. A noteworthy article in Volume I, No. 3 describes the donation of Mrs. Hazel Kuhlman's estate to SJSU. The estate still funds a student scholarship to this day.
