Candidate Statement:
Hey there Hornet Hive! My name is Amanda Campbell, and I am a
proud Senior majoring in Child and Adolescent Development — and I
am ready to lead.
As President of the Child and Adolescent Development Student
Organization, I know what it means to show up for students. My
path here has not been traditional, and that is my greatest
strength. Rather than following a conventional route, I built my
foundation in the real world first — spending five years as an
Assistant General Manager and two years as an Operations Manager
— before returning to complete my degree. That experience gives
me a perspective and level of leadership that sets me apart.
Currently substituting for Eureka Union School District, I am
actively engaged in the communities our college serves. Through
my fieldwork, I have tutored emerging bilingual students and
worked with children with disabilities — all within Title I
schools — experiences that fuel my passion for equity and
advocacy. In Fall 2026, I will pursue my teaching credential
right here at Sac State.
As your Director of Education, my goal is to bridge education and
community — ensuring our college does not just prepare students
for the world, but actively shapes it. I will lead with purpose,
empower every student to reach their potential, and never stop
learning alongside you.
Vote Amanda Campbell. Lead. Learn. Empower.

Candidate Statement:
Hello, my name is Tyesha Riley, and I am running for Director of
Education. I am a Sacramento State Honors student who believes
deeply in the mission of serving a diverse student population.
Over the past semester, I’ve spent much of my time not just in
the classroom but also in the community, attending town halls and
Professors’ office hours, participating in Black Honors College
events, and supporting campus initiatives like toy and sock
drives.
As Director of Education, I aim to strengthen communication
between students and faculty and advocate for equitable access to
academic resources. Being a member of the Black Honors Cohort
2026 has allowed me to witness and experience how policy and
leadership directly shape student engagement, belonging, and
retention. I am running for Director of Education because I want
to push for policies that empower students with dignity,
transparency, influence, and real impact. I would be honored to
earn your support and your vote.
Voting takes place on April 22 and 23. I invite you to join me in
advocating for respect, representation, and tangible results for
our student body. I would be honored to earn your vote. Tyesha
Riley
