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!

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.
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.
