Hi every­one, Bea here! After hav­ing served as the Exec­u­tive Vice Pres­i­dent last year, I real­ized that there was so much more work that need­ed to be done in the Asso­ci­at­ed Stu­dents Gov­ern­ment Affairs. My goals for this year come down to meet­ing stu­dents where they’re at for infor­ma­tion on what shared gov­er­nance looks like and how we can involve them on a much deep­er lev­el. I want stu­dents to know what this team does for and with them. We have so much going on in the world at large, so main­tain­ing a lens on every­thing that hap­pens at the insti­tu­tion­al lev­el can be hard, trust me I get it. I’m here to car­ry our stu­dent voice col­lec­tive­ly and ampli­fy it to rad­i­cal­ize real change on our cam­pus­es. Aside from my goals as a leader, I’m still a stu­dent and an indi­vid­ual — so of course I’ll con­tin­ue to pur­sue my hob­bies and pas­sions as well as I can. I love to jug­gle, I love to clown, I’m a full time dog mom, an aun­tie, a go-go dancer, juke­box-baby bur­les­quer, and over­all, I am a cul­tur­al anthro­pol­o­gist. I’m an ally in as many ways as I can be, but like any­one else, am always striv­ing to be bet­ter and more informed. That help comes from oth­ers, so please, please, come vis­it the Gov­ern­ment Affairs office and talk to your stu­dent rep­re­sen­ta­tives and I about any­thing and every­thing that’s on your mind!

Hel­lo, Wild­cats! My name is Kure­ha, and I am a fourth-year inter­na­tion­al stu­dent from Japan. My hob­bies include read­ing, bak­ing, play­ing board games, and play­ing Arknights. My pas­sion for advo­ca­cy began when I learned about changes to the gen­er­al edu­ca­tion pat­tern at com­mu­ni­ty col­leges that allow cred­its to trans­fer between the CSU and UC sys­tems. As a trans­fer stu­dent, I had to give up many class­es I was inter­est­ed in because of trans­fer lim­i­ta­tions, which was one of the biggest chal­lenges I faced. That expe­ri­ence made this change espe­cial­ly mean­ing­ful to me and inspired me to help improve the stu­dent expe­ri­ence for oth­ers. My expe­ri­ences as a 2025 Sum­mer Ori­en­ta­tion Leader, cer­ti­fied Lead Tutor at the Stu­dent Learn­ing Cen­ter, and the 2025 – 26 AS Direc­tor of Aca­d­e­m­ic Affairs have giv­en me the oppor­tu­ni­ty to work close­ly with stu­dents and help bridge the gap between stu­dents and fac­ul­ty. Through these roles, I have learned that Chico State offers many great resources and oppor­tu­ni­ties, but they are not always com­mu­ni­cat­ed clear­ly to stu­dents. I want all stu­dents to feel informed, sup­port­ed, and able to make the most of their cam­pus expe­ri­ence. I tru­ly believe that uni­ver­si­ty is not the end goal, but an oppor­tu­ni­ty to learn, grow, and con­nect with oth­ers toward a bet­ter future. To me, ​“rep­re­sent­ing the stu­dent voice” means bring­ing stu­dents’ ideas, con­cerns, and hopes for cam­pus improve­ment to fac­ul­ty and cam­pus lead­ers, while also fol­low­ing up to ensure progress is being made. If you have an idea or con­cern but do not know where to start, please feel free to vis­it AS office hours. That is why we are here!

Hel­lo! My name is Chase Wei­land, and I am hon­ored to serve as the Direc­tor of Aca­d­e­m­ic Affairs at Chico State. I am orig­i­nal­ly from Wildo­mar, Cal­i­for­nia, and I am cur­rent­ly pur­su­ing a degree in Agri­cul­ture Edu­ca­tion with the goal of becom­ing a high school agri­cul­ture teacher. My pas­sion for agri­cul­ture, espe­cial­ly hor­ti­cul­ture, inspired me to attend Chico State and become involved in stu­dent lead­er­ship. Pri­or to this role, I served as the Col­lege of Agri­cul­ture Stu­dent Sen­a­tor, where I gained valu­able expe­ri­ence in stu­dent gov­ern­ment, advo­ca­cy, and shared gov­er­nance.

Out­side of aca­d­e­mics and lead­er­ship, I am pas­sion­ate about music and have played the sax­o­phone for over 10 years, includ­ing per­form­ing with the Chico State Wind Ensem­ble. As Direc­tor of Aca­d­e­m­ic Affairs, my goal is to ampli­fy stu­dent voic­es, reduce bar­ri­ers stu­dents face, and fos­ter a stronger sense of com­mu­ni­ty across cam­pus. I am com­mit­ted to ensur­ing Chico State’s aca­d­e­m­ic envi­ron­ment sup­ports stu­dents in mean­ing­ful and impact­ful ways while con­tin­u­ing to uphold the val­ues of shared gov­er­nance and stu­dent advo­ca­cy. I encour­age stu­dents to con­nect with me dur­ing office hours to share their expe­ri­ences, ask ques­tions, and dis­cuss ways we can con­tin­ue improv­ing our cam­pus com­mu­ni­ty together.

Hi every­one! I am beyond excit­ed to serve as the Com­mis­sion­er of Stu­dent Engage­ment & Advo­ca­cy this year!

I was born and raised in Lodi, CA, where I devel­oped a pas­sion for agri­cul­ture and live­stock. This pas­sion has led me to pur­sue a degree in Ani­mal Sci­ence, with the future goal of becom­ing a large ani­mal vet­eri­nar­i­an serv­ing rur­al com­mu­ni­ties! Here at Chico State, I have been able to be involved on cam­pus in so many ways! Such as serv­ing as an Ag Ambas­sador, work­ing as an SI leader, and gain­ing hands-on expe­ri­ence at the Uni­ver­si­ty Farm through intern­ships and research. All of which have helped strength­en my lead­er­ship skills and deep­ened my pas­sion for men­tor­ship! Out­side of school, you can find me vol­un­teer­ing at Butte Humane Soci­ety, hang­ing out with friends/​family, or cro­chet­ing cute out­fits for my cats to wear! As Sen­a­tor, my goal is to con­tin­ue to fos­ter com­mu­ni­ty and growth with­in our col­lege. I can’t wait to get to know YOU! Hear your sto­ry and work to ensure that you feel seen, heard, and rep­re­sent­ed! My door is always open if you need sup­port, have any ques­tions, or just want to chat! I can’t wait to con­tin­ue to plant our roots and grow together!

I will also be glad if I can hear from stu­dents like you about any­thing that you want to improve, change, or add to make our Col­lege of BSS bet­ter!

Hey every­one! I am so excit­ed to be serv­ing as your Col­lege of Nat­ur­al Sci­ences rep­re­sen­ta­tive this year. My goal is to con­nect as many peo­ple with resources and oppor­tu­ni­ties as I can to ensure you have the best most sup­port­ed time at Chico State. My main pri­or­i­ties this year are advo­ca­cy and con­nec­tion. A lit­tle about me is I love biol­o­gy, espe­cial­ly bio­log­i­cal research. This past year I was for­tu­nate enough to be invit­ed to present and speak at the CSU Biotech Sym­po­sium, an expe­ri­ence I will nev­er for­get.
