ASI President Miranda Gonzalez

Hello Warriors,

It is my honor and privilege to be serving as your 2024-2025 ASI President and I want to thank you for trusting me in this role. I am excited for this upcoming year and look forward to continuing to advocate for our diverse and vibrant student body.

Associated Students Inc. is committed to fostering a campus community where students feel engaged and welcomed. I am privileged to work alongside an amazing group of both students and professional staff who strive to fulfill the mission and vision statement by providing quality programs and services to our students while enhancing student engagement, student success, and instilling a sense of campus pride.

My team and I will be continuing to work on implementing U-hour as well as addressing the top areas of interest or student concerns shared during the ASI Elections which are Financial Aid, Parking, Academic Advising, Food Services, and Mental Health. I am excited to be tackling the voted-on student concerns with my fellow ASI executives, Brenda Vega, ASI Vice President and Anthony Irias, ASI Vice President of Finance. These two individuals are resilient, hardworking and are willing to take on every opportunity and challenge that will come their way this year.

I encourage you to get involved with the various events, programs, and services that ASI and Stan State have to offer. Become familiar with your student leaders and reach out so we can effectively advocate! Once again, thank you for your trust and support and I look forward to this year ahead!

Go Warriors!

Warriors Vote

How do I register to vote?
You can register to vote by clicking the link above OR you can get in-person assistance by attending any of our Warriors Vote tabling activities.

By when should I be registered to vote?
You must make sure to be registered to vote at least 15 days (about 2 weeks) before Election Day. If you missed the registration deadline to participate in an upcoming election, visit your county elections office, a voter center, or a satellite election office to register to vote and vote on a provisional ballot, also known as the Same Day Voter Registration.

For other important deadline information, visit Election Dates and Resources located on the California Secretary of State website.

Besides voting, there are different ways you can stay civically engaged. Visit our Warriors Vote booths to learn more about civic engagement, how you can lobby with elected officials and what you can do after voting!

Events

After voting it's important to stay up to date with the information you have voted on, whether it is elected officials or propositions it's important to know what the outcome of the election is.

Here are some nonpartisan resources you can use to stay up to date with information regarding educational news/laws:

The links listed above can help you find valuable information about what you have voted for after the General Election and new issues that may arise in the future.

If you are looking to figure out who is the local elected official within your community, visit My Reps to find out.

Remember, elected officials and representatives need feedback from the people they represent (You!) to prioritize the problems that the overall community faces. The student voice is deeply valued to these representatives. If you want to reach out and write a letter or email to your local elected official, below are some templates you can use to contact them.

Remember, if/when you contact your elected official's office and after a conversation has concluded, it is always nice to send a Thank You card or letter that summarizes the conversation. Share your gratitude towards them for taking the time to talk/meet with you.

Warriors, being civically engaged does not only mean to become politically involved, it also means to become involved within the community you live in. Civic engagement includes political activism, environmentalism, and community service.

The City of Turlock has City Council meetings every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month @ 6:00 pm where Turlock residents have the opportunity to have their voice heard and have an impact on the initiatives implemented.

Stay connected with your Student Government!

Learn about upcoming events, activities or projects your student leaders are currently hosting or working on.
