The Mt. SAC Associated Student Government is comprised of students "who are recognized as the official student voice on all college issues and as officers we act honestly and responsibly when representing the college student body," Alexa Camarena A.S. Government political senator said.
Starting March 18, A.S. Government is holding appointments to select leadership positions for students who are interested in becoming a part of student life. To be eligible students need to complete six hours of community service on campus and attain a 2.0 and six units of credit. However, qualifications do vary on the position. Students should check the qualifications in the application packet which is available at the Student Life Center.
For college students, this is a time to get involved, Camarena said.
A.S. Government's mission is to show leadership and fulfill all responsibilities with an informed voice.
"Being a part of the Associated Student Government is being able to leave a legacy behind, build a relationship with Mt. SAC and find a deeper respect for campus life," A.S. Government Historian Brigette Gray said.
Students will have the power to "provide enrichment to the campus as well as serve personal growth to all students," Camarena said. Not only does getting involved benefit campus life, but "receiving an A.S. leadership certificate looks amazing on college transcripts."
The A.S. Government exists to provide leadership to Mt. SAC.
"It is a representative group of elected and appointed officers whose purpose is to serve as the student political voice to faculty, staff, administration and Board of Trustees," A.S. Government Judiciary Officer Joseph Woodward said.
Appointments are made to the committees based on each student's schedule.
"For students to be eligible for a leadership position they must attend four of our meetings that take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-5 p.m. at the Student Life Center," Woodward said. There are only four spots open to students who want to be a part of the A.S. Judiciary Branch, this branch grants "students to voting power and upholding the constitution, ready to listen to cases and take charge."
