Candidate Statement: 

Hello Hornets, I am Arshnoor (Noor), and I am excited to announce my candidacy for the position of Director of NSM (Natural Sciences and Mathematics). Over the past years, I have been deeply involved in campus activities, particularly within the realms of networking and mental health advocacy. Networking is the backbone of any successful academic and professional journey. As Director of NSM, I am dedicated to enhancing networking opportunities within our community. By fostering these connections, we can empower each other to achieve our academic and career goals. Additionally, mental health is a critical issue that deserves our attention. As a student body, we must prioritize mental wellness and provide resources and support to those in need. As Director of NSM, I will work tirelessly to advocate for mental health awareness and support initiatives. I believe that by destigmatizing mental health struggles and promoting open dialogue, we can create a campus culture that prioritizes well-being and supports the holistic development of all students. I am committed to ensuring that the voices of NSM students are heard and represented in all decision-making processes. On 10th and 11th April of 2024, I urge you to exercise your right to vote. I humbly ask for your support and trust in me as the most qualified candidate for the position of Director of NSM. Together, let us work towards a stronger, more connected, and mentally resilient NSM community.

Candidate Statement: 

My name is Zainab Ghani and I am running for re-election as the ASI Director of Natural Sciences and Math. As the current ASI Director of NSM, I’ve learned about this role and the operations of ASI inside and out and have had the privilege of making significant changes in the College of NSM that I will build upon if re-elected. Coming into this role, my goal was to bridge the gap between students, admin, and ASI. I have met with the Dean of NSM on a monthly basis to discuss areas of improvement to enhance the experience of every NSM student. Some accomplishments that came out of this partnership have been getting the NSM Joint Council running again and connecting NSM clubs to resources and events where they can reach students. Two of these events were the recent NSM Fest and the Joint Council Kick-Off. In addition to my work within NSM, I also excelled as an ASI board member. I had the opportunity to experience our board meeting procedures and complete the duties in my operating rules, advocating for various efforts around expanding resources to student parents and diversifying food options in the ASI Food Pantry. I also currently serve as the VP of MAPS which provides resources for aspiring MD’s. I have spent the past year building meaningful relationships with staff and admin in NSM, which is important when in this role. Being re-elected would allow me to jump right back in and continue to serve you the way you deserve! This April 10th and 11th, vote Zainab Ghani for your NSM Director! Your Voice, Our Vision!

Candidate Statement: 

My name is Lizbeth Rodriguez, and I am excited to announce my candidacy for Director of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. As a passionate student advocate, I understand the importance of standing up for the issues that matter most to us. Throughout my involvement, I’ve delved deep into understanding the unique challenges faced by students, particularly dreamers and undocu students. It’s crucial that we stand together to support every member of our community. If elected as Director, I will prioritize providing students in our college with invaluable internships and career opportunities. I plan to forge strong partnerships with organizations within Sac State’s Scientific and Mathematical Communities, extending our reach from Sacramento all the way down the state. Additionally, I am committed to advocating for our low-income communities, who are among Sac State’s most vulnerable populations. Being a low-income student myself, I know firsthand the importance of a university that prioritizes the needs of its students above all else. I am excited about the opportunity to serve as your ASI Director of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and to work alongside you to make our college and university a better place for everyone. With your support, we can pave the way for a brighter future for every student. Thank you for considering me, and together, let’s make a difference.
