What is your favorite space or service in the Student Center?
One of my favorite services in the Student Center is the free Scantrons and pencils you can get at the Service Desk. While it's not something you'll need every day, it's super convenient to have when exam season comes around. Students can pick up one free Scantron and pencil each day, so if you ever forget one or need one last minute, they are available to all students.
Why did you join the SC Board of Directors?
The reason I joined the Student Center Board of Directors is because, ever since my freshman year, I found myself spending a lot of time in the Student Center. Whether it was between classes or just hanging out with friends, it quickly became one of my favorite places on campus. I thought joining the Board would be a great way to get more involved since I was already in the building almost every day. Now that I'm on the Board of Directors, I have the opportunity to help shape what happens in the building and bring new ideas that can make the Student Center an even better place for students

SC Chair's Message
Image
Hello Warriors!
My name is Jelaine Esguerra. I am honored to serve a third term as Chair of the Student Center Board of Directors this year. As a student at Stan State, I know how important it is to have spaces where you feel welcomed, supported, and connected. The Student Center serves as the hub of campus life, where students can come together to engage, empower, and inspire one another. Through its facilities, programs, and services, the Student Center is committed to enhancing the student experience and creating opportunities for students to build community and make lasting memories.
It is a privilege to work alongside a dedicated team of student leaders and staff who advocate for the needs of our Turlock and Stockton campus communities. This year's Student Center Executive Team includes myself as Chair, Manny Delgadillo, Vice Chair, and Melanie Ovrahim, Vice Chair of Finance. Together, we are excited to continue working on initiatives that improve the student experience and ensure the Student Center remains a place where students feel supported and heard.
When I first joined the SC Board, I was looking for a way to make a difference on campus. Three terms later, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue advocating for students, listening to their needs, and helping create a campus where everyone feels they belong. Serving on the Board has allowed me to advocate for students, listen to their needs, and work alongside others to create positive change.
I encourage you to make the most of your time at Stan State. Attend events, join organizations, grow your connections, and take advantage of the many resources available to you. College is about more than earning a degree; it's about building experiences, relationships, and memories that will stay with you long after you graduate.
I look forward to another year of listening, learning, and working together to make the Student Center a place where every Warrior feels welcomed and supported.
