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!
