Fellow Hornets,

My name is MONICA CORTEZ and I am running to be your ASI PRESIDENT. As the

current VP of Academic Affairs I serve as the liaison between students and faculty, advocating

for quality education and accessibility. My experience has allowed me to build a strong

relationship with campus faculty and administration. I have been involved in ASI for 3 years as

an intern for the Office of Governmental Affairs where I have advocated for YOU. During these

uncertain economic times, having the best candidate for student representation is essential. As

PRESIDENT I will LEAD our ASI Student Government towards accountability through

transparency and outreach.

I also intend on LEADING the way to an infrastructure that effectively enhances the

development of campus culture by building unity and pride. I want to help students maintain an

active involvement on campus in an effort to build a positive University experience and

opportunities for LEADERSHIP.

I have been involved on campus through the United Sorority Fraternity Council, my sorority

Sigma Omega Nu, Inc., ASI Lobby Corp and represented student’s interests through my

Stand. Vote. STRIVE!

My name is George Cordero and I am running for ASI President. I have been an active

member of ASI, serving as the Director of Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies. As

Director, I was able to revamp the Practical Advocacy course and establish a sustainable SSIS

Joint Council. It has been an honor, as I have witnessed, first-hand, ASI’s inner-workings and

impacts on students' lives. Being part of ASI has showed me the importance of student

involvement and the true value of the students’ voice.

I am a fourth year student majoring in Government and Communication Studies. In the recent

years, I have become more active and have grown to appreciate everything that Sacramento State

has to offer. I will continue to represent students to the best of my abilities and STRIVE to

maintain ASI’s integral role in campus life.

If elected, my goal is to continue representing the student body through advocacy efforts and

supporting campus events that promote the growth of Sacramento State as a community. I plan

to introduce events that further engage students and maintain the efforts for alternate food

options through the Farmer’s Market.

Accountability is essential in any student board, and as your President, I plan to uphold the

great legacy and achievements of the past President’s before me. I plan to unite the ASI Board to

work towards strategic priorities that truly embody the student’s needs!

Executive Vice President

(2 Candidates)


The Executive Vice President (EVP) has a two-fold responsibility. The first responsibility is to

act as the Chair to the ASI Board of Directors. As the current Vice-Chair to the board, I have

gained a great understanding of how the EVP functions. This experience and understanding is

crucial – I ensure that with me as EVP, I will work along side the rest of the board and serve you,

the students, as effectively and efficiently as possible. The second responsibility is to represent

you, the students, and put actions to words. As a current ASI Director, I have never turned away

a student with an issue. I intend on continuing this practice to amplify our voices as students,

creating a stronger environment for higher education.

My experience as the Director of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has opened me up to the

complexities of issues that you and I STRIVE to deal with each day as CSU students. My tenure

has shown me how student actions and ASI Board actions can be drawn together most efficiently

to achieve what we need. My plans are simple, yet powerful: engage students in campus activity

so that we are represented and informed on topics that affect us all; connect students with the

proper resources and with each other to achieve our goals; enhance student life by amplifying

our voice and opinions.

Together we will STRIVE to succeed

Fellow Hornets,

I am GQ DLAMINI, and I am running to become your ASI EXECUTIVE VICE

PRESIDENT. Our most recent time as Hornets has proven challenging inside and outside the

classroom. However, the fact that we are still here is testament to our resilience and dedication.

During these times, we must band together in order to better our own futures.

Over the last three years, I have served and participated with numerous ASI departments, such

as the A-Team. I have also served within auxiliary organizations all over California serving

every position from representative to president, and I look forward to welcoming our incoming

students this summer as an Orientation Leader. Through these organizations I have learned

many structures and practices that I will utilize to strengthen our Student Government. I will be

sure to touch base with our current ASI committees and departments and LEAD their workings

to further benefit you. My priority will be to hold the ASI board accountable and accessible to

you, the students.

This year I envision an ASI that will relentlessly LEAD the engagement of every Hornet, fosters

the success of its students, and continues to meets your needs. As your Executive Vice

President I will be sure to LEAD this organization to work for you. I will strive for

LEADERSHIP free of doubt, Action above the call, and Dedication without question.

My name is Lauren Carpio and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I have held a variety

of coordinator positions for Samahang Pilipino and am the Finance Vice President for Alpha Phi

Omega for the second semester in a row. I’ve been an Accounting Assistant in the ASI Business

Office for nearly two years, where I’ve gained an incredible amount of accounting and finance

experience while working closely with the entire ASI Administrative staff. I have also served on

the DOC Committee as well as the ASI Finance & Budget Committee. Additionally, I have been

appointed vice chair on both committees, so I’ve already had the unique opportunity to begin

learning the VPF position.

Through these organizations and committees, I have seen first-hand so many students who want

to get involved and enhance their college experience, but are unsure how to. Thus, my first

priority is to engage more students in the variety of programs offered through ASI and the

university. I will hold more campus-wide promotional events to connect the campus with the

ASI Board of Directors. I will also continue promoting DOC funding to clubs by personally

keeping in contact with club officers. Finally, I will work to foster healthier lifestyles and

campus unity by continuing the ASI Farmer’s Market once a month. I look forward to

representing the students to the best of my abilities.

My name is Kyle Tanaka and I am running for Vice President of University Affairs. Since my

freshman year I have wanted to get involved with ASI. This is my third year at Sacramento

State, and during the time I have been involved in different clubs and organizations that have

help change and grow my abilities as a leader. Here is what you can expect out of me:

A candidate who is willing to stand up for student rights and beliefs

A candidate who has been impacted for three years by small class size and increased tuition

A candidate who will listen to student wants and needs in order to foster campus change

Lastly, not only a candidate, but also a student who wants change at Sacramento State

The biggest area of focus that I want to bring to ASI is a stronger push for student involvement.

Whether it is a more focused approach to clubs and organizations, or encouraging students to get

involved with student committees. The commitment to our students needs to be clear and

focused.

LEAD is about assembling students who come from all areas of campus and student life. Who

are diverse, and bring different temperaments, talents, and convictions to office.

You have the ability to LEAD, by voting LEAD, and by becoming a LEAD-er. Thank you for

Hello! My name is Erica Brown and I am running for Director of

My name is John Hobbs and I am running for Director of Business. I hold officer positions with

several business clubs on campus including the Student Investment Fund, the Institutional

Investment Society, the Financial Management Association and Delta Sigma Pi: a co-ed business

fraternity. As an officer I have a unique perspective on how clubs and orgs interact with the

university, so I understand the value both can derive from active participation.

In my opinion the College of Business offers more than just a curriculum. The problem is most

students are unaware of available resources or are uninterested. As Director of Business I plan to

engage students with these valuable resources. One way I will do this is to coordinate the

BizFest in the Fall. This enhances the sense of community between business clubs while

connecting business students with opportunities for participation.

While I’m at it, I will STRIVE to re-energize communication between business clubs by

facilitating collaboration. I would like to implement one more trajectory of goodwill. I want to

bring the concentrations together for a competitive event; the Academic Decathlon. Members

from every concentration will compete on teams to creatively solve problems in a high stakes-

Council and HHS newsletter, to connect and to collaborate issues, ideas, and events will make

sure that the students are understood and heard. My intent is to bridge the gap between majors to

Vietnamese Student Association, and am a Founding Father of Pi Kappa Phi. Most importantly, I

have been able to have an internship with a former SSIS Director.

Those are some of the major things I’ve done on campus, and am ready to embark on

this adventure for YOU. In this position, I will represent and give a voice to the students in the

College of SSIS, and the university as a whole. As your director I will make sure you know

where your money goes to and will fight to lower fee increases.

If elected to office I will fight for YOU by lobbying. I will disseminate the ideals of the

Odyssey mentoring program to other departments within the College of SSIS in order for

students to maximize their education. I will be accessible to the students of SSIS to hear their

needs and work on their behalf. This will be done by going to the students, instead of the

students coming to me. Furthermore, I will establish and finalize a joint council so students of

SSIS have a better networking ability! Vote Ricky Hurtado for SSIS Director and together we

will strive to succeed. Si Se Puede!



UUOCI Board of Directors

(1 Candidate)

I am Darsey Varnedoe, and I am running for Director, University Union Operation of CSUS

Inc. Board of Directors. I have been actively involved in several University committees over the

past couple of years. I have been connected, not only with the campus community, but also with

the city community as a City Liaison with the Sacramento State City Ambassadors, a student

formed local advocacy group here on campus, and also as an active member of Lobby Corps., an

established state advocacy group on campus. Leadership is a key element in succeeding not only

in school, but also in life. I strongly believe in Sacramento State’s slogan of “Leadership begins

here.” I make it a priority to advocate on the behalf of my fellow Sacramento State peers. I am

aware of the importance of being actively involved in our campus community. My main goal

will be to immediately address the needs of the students and push an agenda that promotes

student involvement in the campus community. If elected I will make sure the University Union

Operation of CSUS Board of Directors know what the students want and what the students need

since this is the STUDENTS’ University Union. So please come out and VOTE on April 24th

and 25th
