President's Message


Hello Warriors,

Image
Vikash Prakash

My name is Vikash Prakash, and it is an incredible privilege and honor to serve as your Associated Students, Inc. President. As students, we come from diverse backgrounds, speak different languages, and come from various regions. Although our identities and circumstances differ, we share one thing in common: we chose Stanislaus State as part of our academic journey. Whether you made this decision in high school, community college, or later in life as a non-traditional student who believed in the power of higher education, choosing this university was more than simply accepting an offer of admission. It was a thoughtful, purposeful decision to invest in yourself, your future, your aspirations, and to take the next step in your unique journey. Because of this shared experience and the trust we placed in Stanislaus State, I strongly believe this institution must deliver a high-quality education and college experience that is worth the daily sacrifices we make as students on a daily basis.

As your ASI Student Body President, my aim is to bridge the gap between our students and the university. This includes ensuring students are equal stakeholders and that our voices and needs remain at the center of every conversation, policy, and action taken by faculty and university administrators. This commitment isn’t simply a personal one, but rather a shared one that is at the core of ASI's mission. Supporting this responsibility is our amazing Board of Directors and Executive team, including Vice President of Finance Jayden Betbebanta and Vice President London Guzman. Through constant collaboration, we are clear-eyed about our responsibility to ensure your investment in this university is met with meaningful advocacy, active engagement with our student body, and dedicated service that puts you first.

I recognize and understand that every student arrives at this university with diverse and personal challenges. We are not just numbers on a spreadsheet, but rather we are individuals with unique backgrounds and circumstances. Today, our students work longer shifts just to cover everyday needs and may commute from various communities across the Central Valley. Some students may be caring for loved ones and/or children while attending classes. Others may be navigating college on their own as first-generation students. Some may have left their country as international students, while others may be navigating immigration barriers. Regardless of their situation or identity, every student at this university deserves to be seen, heard, and valued as members of our resilient and incredible Warrior community.

To every student, I strongly encourage you to stay focused on your future and goals, despite the setbacks you may face throughout your time at Stanislaus State. I urge you to ask questions when you are unsure, explore the resources available when you need support, get involved when you are looking to find your community on campus, and remember that ASI is here for you whenever you need support, assistance, or need someone to advocate on your behalf. Please never be afraid to reach out to your ASI representatives, as we are ready to listen, advocate, and take whatever action is necessary to represent your voice.

We look forward to serving you and enhancing your time here at Stanislaus State!

Best regards,

Vikash Prakash
President - Associated Students, Inc.
California State University, Stanislaus
