SC Chair's Message

Hello Warriors!
My name is Jelaine Esguerra and I have the honor to continue serving as the University Student Center Board Chair for the 2025-2026 term. The University Student Center serves as the hub of campus life, a safe and welcoming space where students come together to engage, empower, and inspire one another. The University Student Center is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the community, and is committed to enhancing the overall student experience through our facilities, programs, and services.
It is an honor for me to work with a dedicated team of students and staff who advocate for the needs of the Turlock and Stockton campus communities. The Student Center Executives include myself, Jordyn Piro, SC Vice Chair, and Erik Jimenez, SC Vice Chair of Finance. We are excited to work on initiatives to further enhance your experience at the University Student Center as well as the experience for students of future generations. The University Student Center is committed to creating an environment where students are supported with the facilities, programs, and services.
I joined the SC Board of Directors because I wanted to be a part of the conversation that advocates for students. Joining the Board means being a part of a team of individuals who all share a common goal of listening to students' needs and working on initiatives to ensure that all students are supported.
I encourage you all to get involved with the campus by attending events, joining organizations, utilizing available resources, and creating lasting memories.
