Student Testimonials

Carlos

“I joined ASVC to advocate and make changes to benefit the students’ lives here at Ventura College. But as I grew into my role I also wanted to focus on getting other students involved. My duties include leading board meetings, overseeing all the departments within the organization and being the official spokesperson for the board. The beauty in joining ASVC is that not only do you learn about leadership and develop professional skills, you also become the voice of approximately 14,000 students.

 

This means students will look to you to help guide them while they are students at Ventura College. It is a great experience that you don’t want to miss out on; become a leader!” Carlo Plascencia, Ventura College, ASVC President

"I joined ASVC because I wanted to create a campus atmosphere that felt welcoming to our diverse groups of students. One way I am able to achieve this goal in my current position is by allocating funds to celebrate diversity and culture. The wonderful thing about student government is that no experience is needed in order to be involved.

 

Student government is a way to gain those skills and utilize them to make a better campus for all students. Being in student government guided me in choosing my major. I realized that I wanted to use the knowledge I had gained from being in ASVC and make it my career by majoring in Public Administration." Athena N. Lazos, Ventura College, ASVC Director of Finance
