I’m Chris Sul­li­van( He/​Him) , and I’m hon­ored to serve as this year’s AS Pres­i­dent after serv­ing a suc­cess­ful year as the pre­vi­ous Direc­tor of Social Jus­tice and Equi­ty at Chico State. As a first ‑gen­er­a­tion col­lege grad­u­ate with a degree in soci­ol­o­gy and minors in Mul­ti­cul­tur­al Stud­ies and Ethics, Jus­tice, and Pol­i­cy, I am pas­sion­ate about ensur­ing that our cam­pus com­mu­ni­ty are hav­ing informed and equi­table expe­ri­ences. I am in my sec­ond year of the Social Sci­ence pro­gram with an option in career and life plan­ning and col­lege stu­dent suc­cess and equi­ty. Being a part of this pro­gram has allowed me to focus more on my pas­sion for High­er Edu­ca­tion and advo­cat­ing for areas of Stu­dent Suc­cess. I am from Ingle­wood, CA, I arrived at Chico in 2018 and imme­di­ate­ly immersed myself in cam­pus life. Through­out my col­lege jour­ney, I active­ly par­tic­i­pat­ed in pro­grams like EOP, the First-Year Expe­ri­ence Pro­gram, REACH, and Stu­dent Rights and Respon­si­bil­i­ties, where I served as a men­tor, event coor­di­na­tor and Grad­u­ate Assis­tant. These expe­ri­ences have giv­en me a deep under­stand­ing of the chal­lenges stu­dents face, what resources to look for and what poli­cies should we be informed about. My top pri­or­i­ty is ensur­ing that all Chico State stu­dents have access to the resources they need to thrive, regard­less of their back­grounds. I firm­ly believe in the pow­er of advo­ca­cy, uni­ty, and under­stand­ing. I am com­mit­ted to under­stand­ing and address­ing the needs of our stu­dents to help them achieve their goals. My expe­ri­ence and knowl­edge in areas where advo­ca­cy can dri­ve change enable me to effec­tive­ly pur­sue fund­ing and resources. I am ded­i­cat­ed to fos­ter­ing open com­mu­ni­ca­tion with­in our uni­ver­si­ty, ensur­ing every­one stays informed and engaged. I’m here to be a famil­iar face in the com­mu­ni­ty, so please don’t hes­i­tate to approach, con­nect, and reach out. Togeth­er, we can work towards a brighter and more equi­table future at Chico State.

Hi all! My name is Madi­son and I am thrilled to be a part of AS Stu­dent Gov­ern­ment for a sec­ond year! I am a 4^th year here at Chico State and am major­ing in Busi­ness Admin­is­tra­tion with a focus in mar­ket­ing. I grew up in a very small town in the cen­tral val­ley called Lath­rop and had an amaz­ing child­hood full of sum­mers at the lake, swim­ming in the pool, and hang­ing out with my home­town friends. In my free time, I enjoy being out­doors and find­ing a good hike to do, cook­ing din­ners with my fiancé and room­mates, tak­ing fun week­end trips to Tahoe and more! Life is full of oppor­tu­ni­ty and I am for­tu­nate to be liv­ing it to the fullest! I sense an incred­i­ble year ahead for Chico State and although this posi­tion of Leg­isla­tive Affairs is brand new to me as a busi­ness major, I have a pas­sion for the future of the Uni­ver­si­ty and aim to leave a pos­i­tive mark on our cam­pus for future stu­dents. After all, every­one deserves a pos­i­tive edu­ca­tion­al expe­ri­ence and lifestyle here at Chico State so my goal is to make that more appar­ent for every­one. I am look­ing for­ward to the 2024/2025 school year! Go Wildcats!

I do peer advis­ing for study abroad, and I’m always eager to meet new peo­ple, so always feel free to approach me any­where. My goal is to meet as many Wild­cats as pos­si­ble in my tenure!

Hi, I’m Adin White, and I’m the new AS Com­mis­sion­er of Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Affairs at Chico State. I grew up in Chico and it’s been my dream since I was a kid to be a Chico State stu­dent. Now that I’m here, I’m hon­ored to serve my fel­low stu­dents as Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Com­mis­sion­er. In my posi­tion, I plan to pro­mote sus­tain­abil­i­ty-relat­ed events both on and off cam­pus. I want to help engen­der stu­dent-led sus­tain­abil­i­ty orga­niz­ing, and fos­ter com­mu­ni­ca­tion between groups with­in our com­mu­ni­ty who are already doing amaz­ing work to cre­ate a green­er Chico. I’m com­mit­ted to advanc­ing envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion, cli­mate aware­ness, ener­gy effi­cien­cy, and zero-waste initiatives.I’m a ded­i­cat­ed stu­dent of the human con­di­tion and an avid read­er of phi­los­o­phy, psy­chol­o­gy, and cul­tur­al stud­ies. I believe we are all inti­mate­ly entan­gled with our envi­ron­ments to such a degree that we become indis­tin­guish­able from it and from each oth­er. That’s why I believe it’s impor­tant that we all work togeth­er to pro­tect the bios­phere and pre­serve it. I think the endur­ing beau­ty of Chico State’s cam­pus is a tes­ta­ment to our community’s ded­i­ca­tion to sus­tain­able prac­tices. Chico is sit­u­at­ed in an incred­i­bly vul­ner­a­ble coun­ty, one that I have seen rav­aged by increas­ing­ly dev­as­tat­ing envi­ron­men­tal cat­a­stro­phes for as long as I’ve been alive. These dis­as­ters, both loud and qui­et, are symp­to­matic of larg­er glob­al trends that affect vul­ner­a­ble com­mu­ni­ties and pop­u­la­tions first. It con­tin­ues to be pos­si­ble for some of us to imag­ine our­selves insu­lat­ed from the con­se­quences of our poor stew­ard­ship of the bios­phere. The fail­ure of our cul­tur­al insti­tu­tions to engen­der an appro­pri­ate sense of urgency and respon­si­bil­i­ty for, for exam­ple, the threat of rapid glob­al aquifer deple­tion and chang­ing cli­mates must be reme­died by the cre­ation and pro­mo­tion of our own sys­tems of edu­ca­tion and action. To ful­fil this role is my goal as AS Com­mis­sion­er of Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Affairs at Chico State.When I’m not at school I like to bike around Chico with my friends, run, and read. I also like to make music, draw, and (rarely) paint. I’m an active mem­ber and offi­cer in many on-cam­pus clubs and orga­ni­za­tions, and am a board mem­ber of SBO, a non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tion that pro­vides sup­port to chil­dren in Haiti found­ed and run by Jean Chris­lot Michaud, a recent Chico State alum­ni. Last year I served as the pres­i­dent of the Chico Anthro­po­log­i­cal Soci­ety and am now involved in cre­at­ing a peer-men­tor­ing pro­gram with­in the depart­ment with the help of the board of the club, Cheryl Lugo, and Valan­ti­na Rashoo. I am cur­rent­ly the vice pres­i­dent of the Ade­lante Club, an orga­ni­za­tion ded­i­cat­ed to sup­port­ing low income and latine stu­dents inter­est­ed in or curi­ous about grad­u­ate school. I’ve also had the plea­sure of work­ing with SWANASA, a stu­dent-led orga­ni­za­tion on cam­pus that works to pro­mote aware­ness and under­stand­ing of South­west Asian and North African peo­ple and cul­tures. I’m also work­ing with Haseeb Rameen, the founder of Chico State’s AIME chap­ter, to start a UNICEF chap­ter on cam­pus in the fall. I work as a cul­tur­al resource tech­ni­cian for SWCA Envi­ron­men­tal Con­sul­tants, where I do archae­o­log­i­cal exca­va­tions and land sur­vey. I often spend my sum­mers in my ances­tral home of Ire­land, exca­vat­ing a medieval Irish vil­lage and Anglo-Nor­man cas­tle in Con­nacht. In 2022 I was made an offi­cial ambas­sador for Coun­ty Roscom­mon, Ire­land. I’ll be grad­u­at­ing in 2025 in the Spring. 

I bring for­ward my knowl­edge, skills, and expe­ri­ence to cre­ate a sub­stan­tial and pos­i­tive impact on our uni­ver­si­ty’s com­mit­ment to sus­tain­abil­i­ty through the role of Com­mis­sion­er of Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Affairs

As a first-gen­er­a­tion immi­grant from the Philip­pines and a sec­ond-year grad­u­ate stu­dent in the Cobián lab, I am deeply pas­sion­ate about my stud­ies in fun­gal ecol­o­gy with­in the Bio­log­i­cal Sci­ences Depart­ment. My aca­d­e­m­ic jour­ney began with an asso­ciate degree in Lib­er­al Arts: Sci­ences from Cues­ta Col­lege. I then con­tin­ued to Chico State, where I earned my Bach­e­lor of Sci­ence in Bio­log­i­cal Sci­ences with a con­cen­tra­tion in cel­lu­lar and mol­e­c­u­lar biol­o­gy. Beyond my aca­d­e­m­ic pur­suits, I enjoy read­ing, orga­niz­ing, and hik­ing. As your sen­a­tor, I aim to fos­ter a strong sense of com­mu­ni­ty among all majors with­in our col­lege. I am ded­i­cat­ed to being a proac­tive and respon­sive rep­re­sen­ta­tive for all stu­dents. Your input is invalu­able, so please don’t hes­i­tate to reach out if you have any ques­tions, con­cerns, or ideas.
