Election 2011
chaffeybreeze.com | April 4, 2011
Candidates for President As the current ASCC President, I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to all sorts of student organizations that have helped me see the many diverse facets of assistance programs available to all Chaffey students. My goal as President has been to help students become fully aware of those available resources, and most importantly how to assist each other to have the best possible educational experience here at Chaffey. In seeking my reelection, I feel it’s my past years experience that will assist the students in transitioning through this economic recession, and ultimately help us all achieve our goals.
I promise to promote civic awareness throughout all Chaffey campuses and to engage all people to bolster high social capital at Chaffey. I promise to break down all political jargon so everybody understands the policies and procedures brought to the attention of the student government. I will do my best to represent all veterans and students to the best of my ability. I will listen to all suggestions brought to my attention and engage our student government with what has been brought to me during my term in office.

As your current Senator of ASCC, I am thankful for those students who have supported me in the past election. I would like to continue to hold my position in office because I want to keep understanding student’s desires and making their voices heard. As a current member, I have faced many obstacles in the past, but I learned something new from each and have had an overall great experience. I believe that my past experience, leadership skills, and devotion make me a positive role model for our student body.
. My name is Aliza Nawaz. I am a young student who is majoring in Political Science and is a member of the Muslim Student Association and the Civics Club. I am an honors student with a high GPA. There is a strong desire in me to assist our community and have your voices heard. I would like to have a more active role within our school and therefore I am running for Senator. As a member of the ASCC I hope to represent diversity and a medium for encouragement and participation amongst pupils and the student government. Vote for me.
Currently as a senator of the Associated Students of Chaffey College (ASCC), I have learned that in this organization commitment is the key to success. The new role for the 2011-2012 academic year I would like to hold in this organization is the position of Commissioner of Activities. My goal as Commissioner of Activities would be to coordinate events for the college, serve as a voting member in the Campus Council, and have the student body of Chaffey College get involved with activities created and sponsored by ASCC and Chaffey clubs.
If you election me as your Commissioner of Inter-Club Council, I pledge to you my fellow students that I will encourage and increase civic awareness of opportunities, programs, and services of our wonderful college. I pledge to encourage clubs to work together to bring awareness of issues that affect us all as students as well as issues that each and every club feels passionate about. I pledge to increase engagement between elected student officers and students. My mission will always be to listen and work as hard as I can to offer guidance and support to you.

Being a member of the DPS Running I know well the importance of having somewhere to turn to when in need; ergo, I have devoted my life to humanitarian work. I have helped in the fight against ignorance as the former VP of the Chaffey GSA club and have headed up various charity drives here on campus that benefit our community. I am a pre-med major and am currently enrolled in the Honors Program. If elected, I hope to bring my drive, leadership skills and strong personal passion for improving the lives of others to the ASCC and you the student.
I am currently a senator of the Associated Students of Chaffey College (ASCC), and I am proud to say that I have learned a great deal of things being involved on campus. I believe that it is essential to the growth of aspiring students to take advantage of every resource available to them. As student senator, I will represent ASCC with the utmost integrity. My goal is to provide each and every student with the knowledge of different resources that Chaffey has to offer which includes various activities, scholarships, book grants, and student clubs.

As a returning Senator, I, Linda Olmos, want to continue making a difference, challenging others and being part of a great motivating team. This experience has allowed me to reach out to my peers and inform them of the exciting and important news going on at Chaffey College. I love knowing that we are making a change and encouraging others to do the same. Improving the quality of a students experience is my number one goal and I will continue advocating for my peers. I believe that my current role in ASCC will allow me become a better Senator for next year.

Running for: Senator
I care about the students and their success at Chaffey College. I believe that their time at Chaffey should be an enjoyable journey. That is what education precisely is a journey, but due to the misfortune the education budget has encountered, education now seems like a struggle. I believe that being a senator in ASCC I can be the voice for the students who are working to achieve their dreams through an education at Chaffey College. I feel that we all need to come together as a student body and stand up for the education we rightfully deserve. We cannot hope for change; we have to make it happen.
for: Senator
My intentions are to help the students at Chaffey College in any way that the position allows. The recent recession created many difficulties in the way to a higher education, and if voted as a representative, I will work hard to support actions that will be in the interest and welfare of the student body to overcome such obstacles.
