If elected, I will have the opportunity to amplify student voices and use them to enhance and improve the college experience for everyone.

As a representative for all students, I will ensure that all voices are heard and taken into consideration when making decisions. The VPUA is responsible for having student representation on all university committees, boards, and councils. Therefore, I will work hard to reach out to students from different backgrounds, clubs, and organizations to ensure diversity within the committees. Furthermore, I will work closely with the ASI Office of Governmental Affairs to stay up-to-date on issues that affect Sacramento State on all levels. This office is currently represented only by me, and I am well-equipped to stay connected. I urge you to vote for me on April 10th and 11th as I am the most qualified candidate for the position of Vice President of University Affairs.

Candidate Statement:
My name is Sabrina Charleston, and I am running for ASI Vice President of University Affairs. With a deep commitment to diversity and inclusivity, I stand ready to serve as a passionate advocate for every student’s voice. As Vice President of External Affairs & Treasurer for the Black Student Union (BSU), I’ve tirelessly amplified marginalized voices and advocated for underrepresented students, spearheading initiatives for diversity, equity, and inclusion through events, discussions, and collaborations. Additionally, as MLK Student Leader at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, I’ve honored Dr. King’s legacy by promoting social justice, community engagement, and civil rights activism, inspiring students through workshops and service projects. Moreover, my roles in the Cooper Woodson College Enhancement Program, as Mentor Lead, Recruitment Lead, and Community Liaison, have enabled me to mentor diverse incoming students, fostering belonging and empowerment within our university community. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+, Latinx, and Black communities, and as a woman, I understand the importance of representation and the power of diverse perspectives. My experiences within these communities have shaped my dedication to fostering an inclusive campus environment where every student feels valued and heard. I am committed to amplifying underrepresented voices, advancing social justice, and creating a more inclusive campus environment where every student feels valued, heard, and supported.
