1. Dylan Juarez

My name is Dylan Juarez. I am currently 18 years old and soon to be 19. I have lived in the city of Fullerton my entire life and have grown a deep appreciation for it. I currently work as a server on the weekends while dressing up as a pirate. My interests include playing games, consuming anime/manga, and spending time with my friends. I don’t particularly have many dislikes.I like being involved in extra curriculars because it allows me to be myself. I enjoy the cooperation between people and I adore being able to work towards something together. Being a part of AS not only can I meet new people I can do something alongside them. Which led me from the first day I walked into the senate, to want to be the President of Associated Students. As much as I’d love to say I have all the details for next years plan figured out, I only have a vision of what I hope to achieve; however, in the very process of running for president I have created a board that I feel can support me and can figure out the plan for next year together. I will pursue the path and role of AS president with my full effort and hope to leave behind a legacy of leadership. In all honesty I wish to enjoy every second of it and have fun alongside everyone in making Fullerton college an even better experience. Let’s all enjoy the process.

3. Joy Baik

My name is Joy Baik and I am running for President of Student Senate. While working multiple jobs and volunteering, the most intriguing parts are hearing about people’s lived experiences. As a student, hearing stories has been captivating but, as president, I not only want to listen, but act. As a current club president and previous leadership roles, I have been taught the importance of communication, detail, and empathy. These qualities have made my leadership skills build a foundation. During my term, I plan on:

-Creating wellness rooms around campus that includes stress-reducing tools and easier access to peer-support for students mental wellbeing.

-Helping online students feel connected with school life by pushing updates regarding school-life, and creating online communication lounges where peers can help one another.

-Creating easy ways to find programs and opportunities in relation to students’ careers by posting flyers or sending out emails regarding new openings in extracurriculars.

My ultimate end goal during my term is for you all to be able to feel empowered to speak up. A quote that I live by is, “Be the change you wish to see in the world. ”- Gandhi. It is seen as a personal growth statement, however, I believe true evolution is done through community. I wish to see others speak up without fear. By electing me, you would be electing someone who truly cares about not just your school needs- but also your personal needs. Every voice matters and your voice will be heard. Thank you.

1. Yareli Hernandez

Hola, my name is Yareli (ya-re-lee) and I am running for VP student Senate. Like many students on campus I am a “non-traditional” student which simply means … I get it, I also took a gap.
As Student Senator I have had the privilege to serve at campus events as well as gain experience that has allowed me to see how our school operates behind the scenes.
As a Poli Sci / Comm Major I have learned that speaking up for others empowers us all.
Which is why a goal of mine if elected as Vice President of Student Senate is to encourage students to actively participate with the decisions that influence their educational journey.

Thank you for your vote !!

Every student deserves to feel safe and secure while on campus, and I will work closely with campus officials to ensure those concerns are addressed.

I am passionate about leadership, representation, and action. If elected, I will listen to student voices, push for meaningful change, and work to create a campus environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered.
