Members of the ASCC Cabinet and Court were appointed in to their positions last Wednesday during the ASCC Senate meeting.
Those who were appointed to the Court were:? Chris Llyod, associate justice? Roberto Basualdo, associate justice? Andre Zeumault, associate justice
Those who were appointed to the Cabinet were:? Riley Schnitz, commissioner of daytime activities? David Rodarte, commissioner of disabled students? Jason Macias, commissioner of information technology? Jessica Zaldivar, commissioner of financial aid? Steven Sinkewicz, commissioner of vocational outreach? Ashley Armendariz, commission of public relations ? Joelle Lai, commissioner of student outreach
Stephanie Nguyen, assistant to commissioner of budget and finance and Gredma Casasola, commissioner of external affairs, were unable to attend but are expected to be confirmed to their appointment at this Wednesday’s Senate meeting.
After his appointment Llyod said that he was ecstatic that he will be on the Court because it will give him a chance to be more involved with student government.
“I was motivated to be involved in student government,” he explained, “because now I will have a voice.”
Admittedly, Llyod said that when he attended Duarte High School, he wasn’t involved in student government but at Voice Republic High School, where he attended for his junior and senior years, he was involved in student government were the motto was, “Nothing without labor.”
Additionally, Llyod said that he really looks forward to upholding the law.
Schnitz hopes to promote more student events as commissioner of daytime activities.
“One of the things I look forward to doing is to build relationship among the students,” she said, “because many students are not aware of events on campus.”
She noted that there are events such as Karaoke in the Student Center and Homecoming activities that she will promote for students who attend class during the day.
Building relationships is some thing that Rodarte would like to build or as he said, “having integration with who are disabled and those who are able bodied.”
From what Rodarte sees, disabled students tend to stay within their own group and those who are not disabled don’t communicate with or don’t attempt to approach someone who is disabled.
ASCC President Joe Cobarrubio and ASCC Vice President Alex Armendariz said that they are confident that each Cabinet and Court member will do a great job.
“I am happy with the Court,” Cobarrubio said, “and there is still the appointment of the chief justice to be filled.”
Being a former chief justice, he added that there are still a number of potential candidate for that position.
Armendariz said that he too is glad that those who were appointed were approved and that those within the Cabinet, “started working within their positions, so it’s great.”
