ASGCC Elections

Pascal Bethany

 

Throughout my time at Cuyamaca, I have made equity and honest representation through community a priority on campus. I have used my efforts and resources on campus to curate events and opportunities with the help of staff, faculty, Young, Gifted, and Black club members, and friends catered to students who look just like me to experience the quality of community in conjunction to education. As Cuyamaca’s ASG President, I will make it my business to make Cuyamaca a second-home through bridging the gaps of communication through a community that acts both as a launching pad and safety net for our students.

Hello, I have been a student-athlete at Cuyamaca for two years now, and I have been a part of ASG for a year and a half. I enjoy my part in the community and would like to step up and be even more involved. I see the potential that ASG has and I will work to bring it out for everyone to see. As president, I will use my experience from being an ASG employee and from being a Cuyamaca student to make strides towards an ASG that reaches all Cuyamaca Coyotes. I will ensure that ASG benefits the students and the campus. I promise to be a honest representative of the students of Cuyamaca.

Some of the greatest gifts I've received in life have been the experiences that have led me unto the path of self discovery. Learning about myself through heritage and cultural practices has allowed me to passionately pursue my educational journey with a clear vision of how I want to serve my community and the steps I need to take to arrive.

 

As ASG President, I would emphasize on the finding and embracing of individual identity. When one is able to place themselves before their title or role, they have a better understanding of what direction to take their practice and where to focus their skills. Through clubs, educational workshops, and support groups students will have the space to explore themselves and bring who they are more fully into the student experience that will allow for stronger community building. Whether a student is a business major, sociology, engineering, or social work major, knowing who they are and what drives their education will allow them to connect and develop in such a way that they can lovingly contribute to society.

I have always been interested in leadership positions, as my father always told me, “Son, you have to be a good follower to become a good leader.” After two years of constant learning as an ASG Senator and later on as the ASG President, I now feel ready to take another step forward as Student Trustee. I see this as an opportunity to represent our big community and contribute to making the students’ voices heard. I will make sure I stay committed, maintain a positive attitude, and try to do better every day to better myself and Cuyamaca. Like many of us, I can confidently say what it means to be a Cuyamaca Coyote, a student with a hardworking spirit and the desire to do better every day. I see this when I compete for our school at track meets, when I attend a committee, and I see it every day when I enter our campus.

My name is Brian Truong, and I am eager to apply for the position of Director of Public
Relations. Throughout my high school years, I had the privilege of serving as the Captain of my
Cross Country and Track & Field teams' social media accounts. In this role, I was entrusted with
disseminating information about upcoming events and races, fostering connections with
prospective team members, and upholding our team's reputation as a welcoming, diverse, and
hardworking community. In addition to my responsibilities within the athletic sphere, I also
manage my own photography business/portfolio on Instagram. This endeavor has honed my
skills in self-marketing and promotion, where I've utilized various strategies such as publicizing
my work, creating online and physical promotional materials, and leveraging personal networks
to expand my business's reach. Drawing from these experiences, I am well-versed in the
demands of the Director of Public Relations role. With a creative mindset, I am confident in my
ability to introduce innovative strategies to engage our student body at Cuyamaca College in our
events and social gatherings. Moreover, I am meticulous in ensuring that all content shared via
social media platforms adheres to the regulations set forth by our institution. I am committed to
understanding and addressing the concerns and expectations of our student body, and I am
prepared to collaborate with fellow ASGCC members to achieve our collective goals. My
experience as a team captain has equipped me with valuable transferable skills, including
effective communication, teamwork, and adaptability, which I am eager to apply in assisting
other officers within the ASGCC board. As a full-time student, I am deeply invested in our
campus community, dedicating over 7 hours each day to campus activities. I am more than
capable of fulfilling the minimum five-hour office hours requirement per week, and I am
committed to attending weekly meetings without fail.In conclusion, I am confident that my
diverse skill set and commitment to excellence makes me a strong candidate for the Director of
Public Relations position. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute positively to the
ASGCC board and to further enhance the student experience at Cuyamaca College. Thank you
for considering my application.

My commitment to fostering a supportive campus community and amplifying student voices has been evident.

Keanu Huezo

 

My name is Keanu Huezo, I have been attending Cuyamaca College since 2018 with the intention to major in Music Education and Music Industry Studies. My first few years I studied on and off as a part-time student before applying myself to take consecutive semesters as a full-time student in 2022. These past semesters I have become more involved with the music department through the work experiences classes. As a result, I have developed an interest in how I can give something in return for Cuyamaca as I appreciate everything this college has provided for me.

I have experience organizing events on campus thanks to the Music Industry Seminar classes and I have worked in management at my family’s restaurant, Frank’s Pizza Joint. My management experience includes running payroll, communicating with suppliers, handling complaints and deescalating situations. I am a dedicated worker with a desire to help others and the patience to work and solve problems no matter the situation. I feel my drive and work ethic bring a lot to the table and I welcome taking on new challenges as I progress through life.
