Candidate Statement:

Hello, my name is Ana Marisa Gonzalez, and I am running for the ASI Board Director of Health and Human Services. As a member of the Racial and Social Justice Committee, it has sparked my interest in student collaboration on campus. As a representative of a minority group, I have a personal value to ensure and promote that the diverse student voices are represented and valued.

Throughout my involvement, I’ve learned how to promote cultural competence and address student concerns by bridging the gap between the students and their representatives. Regarding inclusion, belonging and diversity issues around campus, acknowledging the hornet experience is what drives our students to succeed.

As a potential board director my goals are to prioritize the needs of all our students, by making their voices heard and representing them in the student body to relieve their concerns. While informing the ASI Board to organize events that would not only highlight the strengths and values of each represented discipline, but also create more opportunities for interactions across the student population. I hope to furthermore, encourage the ASI Board to engage in difficult conversations, encourage one another to grow, and re-establish commitment to social justice and equity.

I strongly believe I am a qualified candidate ready for this role to help organize, vocalize and empower our student voices. I hope I have earned your vote and confidence as your potential Director of Health and Human Services.

Thank you,

Ana Marisa Gonzalez

My slogan, “Together We Thrive,” perfectly encapsulates my vision for our school as we work towards building a healthier, more inclusive environment for all.

Candidate Statement:

Hello! My name is Anthony Lopez and I am running for the position of Director of Health and Human Services to represent students on the Board of Directors of ASI. I had the privilege of being appointed as the Director towards the end of Fall 2024 and I’m committed to continuing the work I’ve started, ensuring the voices of HHS students remain at the forefront of our campus discussions.

I firmly believe a representative of students should be someone who has faced the same challenges that those they represent have been in. Transferring from a community college where I had to work two jobs in order to make ends meet helped me understand my peers’ needs and the issues they face because I’ve faced them as well. I want to be the representative that the students of HHS can talk to about campus issues and feel certain that their voices are heard.

     One of the key projects I am working on as a current director is reinstating the HHS Joint Council in order to provide a platform for HHS clubs and students to collaborate and share their concerns. Empowering ALL our voices and ensuring that no one feels unheard will be one of my main priorities if elected. No student should ever feel that their voice is undervalued.

     I ask you to consider supporting me on April 16th and 17th during our ASI Elections in order to continue working towards a better hive. Through my involvement on campus in Greek life, committees, and events, I stay motivated to make Sac State a more inclusive and supportive campus for everyone

Gracias,

-Anthony Lopez
