ASGCC Elections

 

Marseel Bahnan

Hi YOTES! I’m Marseel Bahnan, running for ASG president to continue the work I’ve already started. Building a stronger, more unified student government that takes action and truly listens to the student body. I stepped into this role at the beginning of spring semester when our previous president resigned, and in just a month, I’ve already started to improve the structure of the ASG board. My communication and networking skills have helped me build relationships with the Dean of Athletics, President Robinson, and Chancellor Neault.

 

This position isn’t just a title to me, it’s a responsibility I take to the heart. I care deeply about creating real change, not just for now, but for the future students who come after us. My goal is to leave this campus better than I found it, and that starts with every decision I make while I’m here.

I’m passionate about advocating for all voices, building meaningful relationships across campus, and making sure your concerns turn into actions.

Vote Marseel — your passionate, cat-loving, change-making President.

 

 

 

Audrey Causton

I am a student here at Cuyamaca college and I was previously a student Trustee that served on the board in 2007-2008 I enjoyed learning and being a voice for the students here at Cuyamaca College I think running for President will be another door of opportunities and help me learn more about what goes on are school campus and if you see me walking down the hallways don't hesitate to stop me and ask me what is your concern and what you like to see improved here at our college to make it a better place for our former students coming in I am a mother and grandma and I love learning and grasping information and expanding my knowledge to others we are a family here at Cuyamaca College everyone is so helpful especially our tutors and even our great teachers staying after class to give us feedback on our essays I love this college and I recommend this college to anyone the vibe of the students and teachers here is so utilizing makes you want to come to school.

Sofia Luna

I’m applying for the Vice President position because I want to take a more active role in shaping the
decisions we make as a team in ASG. After serving as Treasurer, I’ve found myself stepping up in
different ways to help ASG move forward, and I’d love to make that leadership position more official. I
want to keep making an impact from a new perspective.To me, one of the most essential qualities in any ASG leader, especially the VP, is passion. Without it, there’s no real spark to make things happen. I believe the Vice President should be someone who advocates for students, leads with heart, and helps create meaningful change, and that’s what I try to do every day.
As Treasurer, I have handled financial responsibilities like processing stipends and approving budgets, but I have also worked to bring ASG to life through events. I helped organize and host activities like the Chill
Out gingerbread house event, Valentine's cupcake decorating, and the Spring Luck Scavenger Hunt,
which was one of our most successful events. These events wouldn’t have happened without strong
teamwork, something I highly value. I believe in lifting others and working together to make things better.
My goal moving forward is to continue building up ASG internally so that we can better support students
externally. I want students to know who we are, that we are here for them, and that we are listening. By
creating a strong foundation now, we can make a lasting change for future leaders.
I’m someone who doesn’t give up easily. I stay positive, focused, and committed. As someone who also
works at the Counselling Center front desk, I love connecting with students and being part of their
experience here. I’m not just in for the title, I’m in it because I care. I’m ready to keep showing up for
Cuyamaca students and help bring more joy, support, and energy to our campus

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marcelia Villasenor

I’m writing to express my interest in serving as Student Trustee for the Cuyamaca
College Associated Student Government. I am someone who is passionate about ensuring that
student voices are heard and that their needs are met. As student trustee, I would prioritize
staying informed on our college’s concerns and supporting our community. My goal would be to
maintain an environment in which our student body feels validated and represented, as well as
focusing on finding new ways to bring our community closer together. I know how empowering
it is to have someone in the room who truly understands what students are going through, and I
am confident in my ability to listen and make sure our perspectives are part of the conversation.
I’m excited about this opportunity to become more involved in our school and contribute back to
the Cuyamaca community

 

 

 

Marwah Al Tameemi

Hello, I’m Marwah. I currently work as a tutor and have also tutored in high school. I can bring
organizational skills to ASGCC, as well as good time management. I really love puzzles, too.
From little puzzles like solving the rubik’s cube to going to an escape room, those little activities
have helped me develop great problem-solving skills. I want to join ASGCC to help make a
change that students want, such as events that can help the campus flourish and loosen up the
students from the stress of exams and studying. I’m a very talkative person once comfortable, so
I’d also bring communication to the table, as well as the fact that I cannot live with
misunderstandings. If I’m unsure of something, I will admit it and seek to find the answer in
order to help others. I love spending time on work or helping others, so I’m more than excited to
be spending time with my co-workers at ASGCC and helping build a stronger community within
our college. I really love writing and typing, mostly typing as my typing speed reaches up to 90
WPM. This can help me keep track of things said in meetings and make sure ideas don’t become
forgotten for future events

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Austin Brown

Hello, my name is Austin Brown. For the previous two semesters I have been the active Secretary for ASG. However, I am looking to broaden my involvement in student government so I can more easily support a diverse amount of student-led events that make the campus a more fun and interactive space for students. For me, it's important that the campus environment, and the ASG office itself are inviting places for the entire student body which can provide unexpected fun events alongside consistent student support. I truly believe that having more consistent events will help the reputation and student involvement associated with ASG. Overall, I want the campus to be more exciting with unique opportunities to have fun outside of classes

knowing how to work all of not most microsoft products like Excel sheets and Access, photo editing
softwares like Photoshop and Canva, Google products, and much more. I am also excellent with dealing

policies. I am really excited to have the opportunity to join everyone and work with other ASGCC

Emma Dominguez

Being a student leader requires 3 overarching qualifications: personability, engagement, and the distinct ability to think outside the box. From my time as Editor-in-Chief of the yearbook and captain of both the flag football and softball teams in high school, I believe I have come to embody all three of these characteristics both in the classroom and on the field. But it's been almost a year since then, so let me give you a more recent example of the type of thinker I am: in my BIO-130 class, we were given the prompt, "Give a five minute presentation about anything that has to do with biology" and I chose the psychology of cults and the dangers of manipulative leadership. So trust me when I say I have literally studied how to be good at this. Give me the objective of making this school a better place, and let me show you what I can do. Vote Emma Dominguez for ASGCC Senator!"

 

 

 

 

Dason Hege

I bring prior experience from serving as an ASG senator for the 2024-2025 school year. I've been dedicated to being an active representative, speaking as a student voice in committees and councils. I plan to continue using my expertise and voice to better our college's student representation

 

 

 

Luke Hoffman

I’ve got some great qualities to bring to ASGCC, like positivity, kindness, and the ability
to get things done. I always keep a positive vibe when interacting with students, staff, and other
ASG members. I’m a competitor for Cuyamaca in Cross Country and Track, and my
determination is something I believe will really benefit ASG. I’m taking 13 units this semester
and plan to keep a similar schedule next semester. Being part of ASG is something I really want
because I spend a lot of time on campus and love hanging out with the students at the student
center. I have a blast playing ping pong and other games with my fellow students. I’m confident
that I can be a strong asset to ASG
