Ashley Guerrero
for A.S. Director of Intercultural Affairs What’s good Spartans? My name is Ashley Guerrero (pronouns she/ella), and I’m a third-year Political Science major with a minor in Legal Studies. I’m honored to announce my candidacy to serve as your Associated Students’ Director of Intercultural Affairs. Although I grew up in the East Bay, coming to San Jose my Freshman year was a real culture shock. I had gone from being the only Latinx student in some of my high school classes to being surrounded by individuals from so many different cultures and backgrounds. I quickly settled into the community and grew to embrace the rich culture San Jose has to offer. My journey and endeavors outside of my academics have given me many opportunities for growth. I’m currently serving as a Student Success Leader with the Chicanx/Latinx Student Success Center (Centro), working to curate events for our Chicanx/Latinx population. Through my position with Centro, I also work alongside the Solidarity Network, an affiliation of different campus organizations working towards enriching student life. Serving as a Student-at-large with A.S. Lobby Corps has allowed me to further understand the power we as students have. Lobby Corps advocates for students by researching and recommending legislation, and also bringing awareness to issues that impact students. I want to further advocate for students and ensure their voices are being heard. Through this position, I intend on fostering a space for Spartans to feel secure in sharing their needs and concerns. Remember Spartans, it’s your vote, our pride.
