Hello, Spartans! It has been a privilege serving as your A.S. President.

This year was unlike any other! However, I can firmly say we started and ended our year strong.

The A.S. Board of Directors allocated funding for DACA application renewal fees and voted to fund free feminine hygiene products in the Diaz Compean Student Union. Our new Academic Affairs Committee recruited student leaders to represent each college.

We continued our tradition of hosting Fire on the Fountain, SJSU Disability Awareness Fair, and the Haunted House.

Coming back in the Spring semester, the A.S. Board advocated at both local and State levels, by talking with legislators and State senators to support students on various issues.

Teaming up with all 23 CSU campuses, we lobbied for a more equitable Cal Grant system which would help all students.

The year was cut short by the COVID19 crisis. We worked together to make sure no student felt alone. The SJSU Academic Senate passed a Resolution on Maximum Flexibility and Support of SJSU Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The A.S. Board collaborated with the Academic Senate and the University Administration to bring a Credit/No Credit option to lessen the burden on students.

The Board also allocated $20,000 to provide support to undocumented and international students.

When students felt separated from important information about SJSU, A.S. answered the call. I recorded a series of videos on Instagram called A.S. Updates, which was a way to speak to students directly. I collaborated with University Strategic Communication team and Kira Nguyen, A.S. Director of Community and Outreach.

Associated Students is not just an organization, but a community of more than 36,000 students. All of these accomplishments couldn’t have been done without you. We continue to grow, excel, and prosper together and know for certain that A.S. will support students through both the best and the toughest of times.

Stay Spartan Strong!

The past academic year 2019-2020 has been eventful, to say the least! The early part of 2020 saw a world transformed drastically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the ongoing challenges, Associated Students (A.S.) remained on-mission and committed to serve our students. I want to highlight some accomplishments

by A.S. that made an impact on San JosĂŠ State University students and the campus community.

A comprehensive external review of programs and services was conducted in an effort to enhance overall quality and organizational effectiveness. I hosted meetings and worked with various stakeholders to develop initiatives related to the results of the review and aligned with the A.S. Strategic Plan.

After years of discussion and consideration, the restructure of the A.S. Board of Directors was implemented, with some roles consolidated and the number of directors reduced from 16 to 13. The year was a success for the Board, reaffirming the effectiveness of the restructure.

Departments focused on becoming more efficient introducing the Square Point-of-Sale system in the General Services Center, online payment and orders for the Print & Technology Center.

Our committment to student development was demonstrated by offering bi-annual day-long workshops to all student employees. Events, workshops and/or programs were offered by Events, CCCAC, Child Development Center, Student Government and Transportation Solutions.

The A.S. Campus Community Garden benefitted from a sustainability grant received from the CSU Chancellor’s Office. The funding was used to provide the garden with a source of energy by building solar panels.

The A.S. House, relocated in 2018, will be ready to welcome back the A.S. departments that work within its historic premises in Fall 2020.

The remainder of the year finished with uncertainties for the future. As adjustments to work and processes continued to take place, the A.S. Pandemic Response Team was created. The team developed the COVID-19 Return to Work Plan guided by information from SJSU administration and the Santa Clara County Public Health Department.

In these trying times, A.S. remains deeply committed to student engagement, advocacy and success! I want to thank the A.S. Board, professional staff, student assistants, and cccampus community, who have contributed to keeping Associated Students, in face of a pandemic, a strong and reliable organization that serves students today and well into the future.

Stay Spartan Strong!

Carole Dowell

A.S. Executive Director

GOVERNMENT Student Government rallied around a busy year, creating opportunities for students, building community, advocating to improve the racial climate on campus, and enhancing the student experience overall!

The A.S. Board of Directors and the Programming Board hosted events such as Homecoming Royalty, Halloween, “I Stand with Immigrants:” Day of Action, Destress December, Disability Awareness Fair, and co-promoted university-led events including Pizza with the President and SJSU Democracy Week.

On March 16, 2020, shelter in place took effect in Santa Clara County. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Branden Parent, A.S. President, and Kira Nguyen, A.S. Director of Community & Outreach, collaborated with University Strategic Communication to stay connected with SJSU students virtually in a video series on Instagram called A.S. Updates.

The Students’ Election Commission (SEC) pivoted to a fully-virtual elections for the incoming A.S. Board of Directors 2020-2021. The successful campaign featured candidates creatively producing introductory videos shown on Instagram and promoting their platforms online.

The year for the A.S. Board was affected by the pandemic but student directors immediately adapted by hosting office hours through Zoom and implementing inclusive online events for students.

The CĂŠsar E. ChĂĄvez Community Action Center (CCCAC) celebrated its 15th year anniversary in 2020 with a recommitment to civic engagement, connecting Spartans to opportunities and workshops for social justice and advocacy work.

In celebration of Legacy Month in October, CCCAC staged the 3rd annual Rooted Music and Social Justice Festival. We brought to campus, as part of the SJSU Spartan Speaker Series, Amanda Nguyen, CEO/Founder of Rise, a civil rights law accelerator non-profit organization, Sexual Assault Survivor Bill of Rights co-writer and advocate, and 2019 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Within the department, the team trained for more than 60+ hours in professional development webinars and workshops on online engagement and how to support student success. The training proved timely and useful as shelter-in-place was announced on March 16th, with the CCCAC virtually transitioning all workshops and events.

The center moved the Affordable Textbook Program process from paper documents to online forms and expanded to the program to include technology purchases from the Spartan Bookstore. The Campus Organization funding process was migrated from paper documentation to online forms.

Internally, SAGE Intacct was implemented as the new accounting system, relieving managers of tedious paper handling and copying.
