Associated Students of Delta College (ASDC) Elections

Layla Alaswad (she/her/they/them)

Hi! My name is Layla Alaswad, and I’m running to be your ASDC President! As your ASDC Secretary for the past year, I’ve gained valuable insight into the structure of student government and the issues prevalent in our campus, as well as familiarizing myself with student leaders, faculty, and administration over the previous year. I made massive strides in the development of campus policies and procedures. Notably, I co-authored multiple resolutions and collaborated with resource specialists to provide new opportunities for students.

As ASDC President, a few of my goals for ASDC are to establish a way for clubs to have an active role and voice in the planning of student events; create an active campus life, and engage students with opportunities for representation in district-wide and state-wide advocacy efforts. Clubs on campus are integral to creating a diverse campus life. I plan on collaborating with our Inter-Club Council to create easier methods of communication within clubs, which will promote opportunities for clubs to plan events with the help of ASDC or collaborate during our monthly College Hour.

As an Officer for the Politics and Law Club, I developed a bridge between our student body and the Student Senate of California Community Colleges (SSCCC). Aligning with this state-wide organization allowed Delta College to promote solutions to a wider audience. In March, the Politics and Law Club joined the ASDC board for “March in March”, a march advocating for affordable higher education, student housing, and environmental justice. If elected, I'd expand on these efforts by inviting students to attend an Advocacy Workshop in Sacramento this Fall Semester. Opportunities like this should be accessible to students despite the stigma surrounding community colleges.

My philosophy is that students should feel comfortable voicing their concerns without consequences. My goal as a representative and face of the student body is to ensure student voices and concerns are heard. This can be achieved through outreach by utilizing surveys regarding matters impacting students. A proper grievance process will allow students to anonymously report or discuss campus issues. Student perspectives from our remote campuses are under-represented, and I will leverage my position to bring their concerns to light at administrative discussions.

I truly love Delta College and the community that it has created. I am so excited to be continuing my efforts by being given this opportunity. I hope I have earned your vote and confidence in me as the next ASDC President!

To promote diversity and inclusivity at Delta College, potential initiatives could include establishing affinity groups for marginalized communities, enhancing recruitment efforts to attract a more diverse student body, creating scholarship and mentorship programs for underrepresented students, and fostering a campus environment that celebrates diversity through events, speakers, and curriculum enhancements. Additionally, ensuring equitable access to resources and support services that can help create a more inclusive and welcoming campus for all students.

Danielle Frausto

Hello, fellow students!

My name is Danielle and it is my 4th year as a college student at Delta. I love planning activities and making art! I would love to infuse the Delta college experience with more meaningful, wonder-filled activities and develop better organization to help students better access the many resources and opportunities that are available.
Concerts, clubs, guest speakers, parties, lunch-ins, art workshops, food/market pop-ups, group activities, petting corner, comedy/talent shows, themes, anything is possible.
I would also love to be a Senator of Public Relations, bringing out the beauty in things and making things more efficient and useful is what I enjoy doing. I would love to use my vision to put my artistic spin and deep perspective on who we are.

Richard Martinez

I would like to introduce myself to the San Joaquin Delta College campus community. My name is Richard F. Martinez, and I am a re-entry student at Delta. I am pursuing an A.S. Degree in Computer Science, and I wish to attend the University of the Pacific in the future.

My family has lived in San Joaquin County for one hundred and twenty-five years. I am an United States Army Veteran having served nine years as a soldier. My interests are many, but among them are swimming and diving, my six dogs that I rescued from the street, and keeping up my home and garden. I volunteer as an usher for the Stockton Civic Theater, and I am training to be a docent for the Haggin Museum.
I would like to join the student government in order benefit the students in receiving the best that Delta College has to offer. I am interested in bringing our campus community together through the student council through events, legislation, and inclusion with those that may need a help up. Together we are stronger than as one. Thank you.

Parul Verma (she/her)

Hi, I am an international student at delta college so college gets a little difficult and different for me sometimes, but I still love it. Here, I'm stepping up for student government because I believe our college can be a hub of opportunity and connection, even with our busy schedules. I want to make sure we all have a chance to enjoy campus life, get involved in events that fit into our work-study routine, and have access to resources that help us unwind and succeed. Let's make our college experience the best it can be together.
