Senator At-Large 
Candidates

Calan Broughton

Hello and my name is Calan Broughton. I am a full time STEM student, US Army Reservist, and your next possible Senator at Large at Saddleback College.

 

I have been at Saddleback, on and off, since 2019. And I feel I have finally found my rhythm for college, thanks entirely to our programs at Saddleback. As a candidate for the Senator at Large Position, I'd like to focus my term entirely on student's Basic Needs. That's because students need consistent food resources, housing and mental health assistance to be successful in school every day!

 

As the previous Director of Veteran Student Council, I have the forefront mindset and working relationship with many faculty members and Student Government members alike. So with these working relationships and experience, I intend on making our programs more known to our current and incoming students. I also want to expand our horizons when it comes to food choices and housing, on campus, too. So when a student or the student populace has a Basic Needs related problem, I want to either help solve that problem or already know how to solve that problem for them.

 

I appreciate your time and consideration!

Documentary: Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution
March 26 at 1p
SSC 210A

In the early 1970s, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation, discrimination and institutionalization. Camp Jened, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped” (a term no longer used) in the Catskills, exploded those confines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia, a place with summertime sports, smoking and make-out sessions awaiting everyone, and campers experienced liberation and full inclusion as  human beings. Their bonds endured as many migrated West to Berkeley, California — a hotbed of activism where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption, civil disobedience, and political participation could change the future for millions.
