Bartel Boogerd
Fellow students,
My name is Bartel Boogerd, and I am honored to run for Student President. As a Marine veteran, I have dedicated the past four years to serving others, ensuring safety, and fostering strong communities. Now, I want to bring that same dedication to our campus—to make it a place where every student feels secure, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Leadership is about action, not just words. In the Marines, I learned discipline, accountability, and teamwork—qualities that I will bring to student government. My mission is to ensure that every student, regardless of background, has the resources, respect, and opportunities they need to succeed.

Noah Aguilar
Hello Bobcats!
My name is Noah Aguilar and I am currently running to be your Associated Student Government President with Elise Ho as my Vice President. I currently serve as the Officer of Publicity for Events where I've learned the ins and outs of our student body and what challenges we face.
I firmly believe that every student's voice is incredibly valuable and should be the main point of focus in determining what needs to be changed or improved on campus. As president, I will endlessly advocate for your best interests to ensure every student feels heard and is given an equal opportunity to succeed and flourish in their own individual pursuits.
I believe me and Elise's involvement and activity across multiple committees, clubs, and organizations throughout campus gives us the experience and knowledge needed to drive an impactful change as president and vice president.
Our vision for campus is one where we transparency and clear communication are prioritized and upheld to the fullest extent possible. This begins and starts with leadership at the top and I believe we are the most qualified candidates to uphold and voice these values.
Come March 11th let's 'Change For The Better'!
