Alicia Villa, our new ASG, Associative Student Government, president, has a lot planned for this year.
With having been involved with this school since her first year here Alicia now has a voice for the student body.
The winter quarter of 2012 she was a News reporter for The Communicator and through reporting she ended up talking to a lot of ASG students, and in that found some job opportunities. She then became involved in the lecture program in ASG, leading to her running for president.
With her new role she is now the managing officer of the Student Government, event programmer and represents the student voice among other things. She and her staff plan events like lectures, camping and ski trips and concerts.
“We try to put in what we feel the campus is lacking,” said Alicia Villa, ASG President.
This year Villa plans to focus on improving the campus. While president she wants to build more sustainability around the campus. To have more items around diversity and have events that are centered toward equity and global awareness. Recycling is one of their focuses this year. The events are arranged to be more extensive this year through having a strong student representation. Also, the club representation is planned to be bigger this year.
Everyone on ASG plans to make it more prominent in the school.
“I hope Alicia will make the ASG more presently known to the student body,” said Rockford Radke, the I.R.P Club Representative.
Even though the ASG president doesn’t normally go to the events Villa plans on being there.
“I want to go to events, be more involved,” said Villa.
Villa’s staff is eager to help her achieve her goals of having a strong and successful year. The students of ASG speak very highly of her.
“I feel she can really help us get the word out,” said Vice-president, Crystal Aguilar.
“I think Alicia is an extremely nice individual who wants to work as hard as she can to get things done,” said Dylan Mishler, the ASG Secretary.
Alicia admires and respects the ones around her as much as they do her. “I love my staff,” Villa said, “they’re willing to make an effort”.
Her objective for when she leaves ASG is that the incoming president will be able to pick the projects up from where Villa left off. She plans to have all projects and any ongoing events in a place so that’s easy for the new president and nothing will be jeopardized.
Villa, along with being the ASG president, is working to obtain her Associates of Arts degree, in order to transfer to a university. As of yet, she’s not sure what university she will be going to. Villa plans to major in either Journalism or Business.
