Candidate Statement

Hello, my name is Sergio Antonio Maciel Montoya, and I am running for Vice President of Finance. (VPF)

Over the past year, I’ve served in the College Corps, where I developed a strong sense of serving local and supporting community needs. Additionally, my work with ASI Student Engagement and Outreach has focused on creating an inclusive environment where incoming and current students feel like they are genuinely part of the hive. My experience in Student Academic Affairs has given me insight into the struggles faced by both students and faculty, allowing me to advocate for marginalized individuals and ensure that all voices are heard and represented in key decisions.

Beyond campus, I’ve had the opportunity to work with non-profits during a financial downturn, helping make decisive choices to maintain programs, facilities, and swimmer support while also preserving scholarships for low-income individuals. I also strengthened fundraising efforts by expanding the partnership with the City of Roseville, creating a foundation of community support that sustained the non-profit’s and my city’s mission of providing exceptional experiences.

If elected, I will bring this experience to my role as Vice President for Finance by ensuring we manage the university’s financial resources effectively. A key part of this role is understanding the budgeting process and ensuring funds are allocated to areas that directly support student success. I will work to create a transparent, well-planned budget that prioritizes scholarships, enhances student life, and builds lasting partnerships.

Now, more than ever, students need financial support, a stable environment, and future opportunities that their college will offer them when they come to our Hive. With your vote on April 16 and 17, together, we can be “The + in the Hive” and ensure a thriving campus and a brighter future for all students.
