BY SHAYLYN STRUN A
Votes for the Associated Student Government leader
positions were cast last week, and the winners are in.
Alexa Carrera and Kellie O’Grady ran for vice president.
While both ladies were fit for the position, Carrera was
voted in.
Carrera said she is is all about the community. She
is ready to get students more involved on campus by
m aking sure they’ re aware o f all the opportunities
available to them .
Jairo Rodriguez was the only candidate that ran for
ASG president.
Rodriguez said, “ I really would like to wait until after
this term ends to finally say that I am the president
Rodriguez
just to be respectful of the fact that we still have Brent
(Finkbeiner) here, who I will be relying on for the next
couple of months to train me so I can be the best pres
ident that I can b e .”
Rodriguez said he is eager to start learning.
“ For the next month, he will do his best to brief me
on whatever’s going on as well as teach me some things
that he wishes he would have known before he started
as president, to make sure I do the best I can, and make
sure he leaves knowing that I know enough to move
forward,” said Rodriguez.
CCC will be seeing a lot more of these two starting
later this year when their leadership begins in the fall.
