ASPCFS President Report

/ Katelyn Hummel

Discussion

/ Food Pantry Progress: From January 9th through the 20th, we held a competition between the departments of the campus to collect donations for the food pantry. It was a huge success. So many departments came out and participated and we collected hundreds of donated items. I want to thank the many faculty and students who took the initiative to get involved. I now ask for people to keep in mind that as long as there is a need among our students for this food resource, there will always be a need for donations. The collection of donated items does not stop with the last competition. In using the pantry, we ask that all students be courteous and mindful that the pantry is primarily a resource for students who have a great need.
Legislative Session: Our team participated in Advocacy Day. This event held in Olympia allowed student leaders to learn about state legislative processes and gave them the opportunity to meet with legislators. In these meetings, students spoke to raise awareness of issues facing our students and the community and technical college system. Our hope since this event is to engage more students in our legislature. Students are a huge voice in Olympia. It is the student perspective that our legislators want to hear from the most. I encourage anyone here who wants to be that voice in our colleges to meet with us and find out how you can make that difference.
Student Voice: As your representatives, we want to hear your voice. We encourage students to come forward with suggestions, ideas, concerns, and even complaints, as they should arise. Today we are holding an open forum at the end of our meeting. At that point, we will ask members in the audience to present questions or comments to our panel. You may also contact our team via phone, email of during our office hours.

ASPCFS Vice-President Report

/ Jacob Smith

Discussion

/ I am very happy to report that the food pantry has continued to be a success, as a result of the contributions of the Pierce College community. I want to specifically point out the efforts of Lee Ann in our office, as well as her front desk staff for their continued help and support. Additionally, the success of the pantry would not have happened without the efforts of our Legislative senator Zoe Sundberg and the guidance of our president Kate Hummel. Having said all of that, this is a transition phase, and the vice president position, my position is going to be taking over the everyday responsibilities of the pantry. It is my hope that with the support of my team and the college community that the food pantry will serve as a legacy, for future teams and students. This is good work, and work students and staff can and should be proud of. Colin Powell once said, “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” Let’s keep this dream alive.

Legislative Senator Report

/ Zoe Sundberg

Discussion

/ Yesterday, Kate Hummel and I attended the WACTCSA Legislative Advocacy Day. I am pleased to announce that it was a success. CTC’s from across the state joined together to attend over 80 meetings with Legislators at the capitol. We met with the Legislative Assistants of Steve O’Ban and Senator Zeiger. I am also in the process of scheduling more meetings for the future to continue the relationship Pierce College has with it’s surrounding districts.
I am also working on my upcoming event, Connecting to Community. I have solidified my purchase requests for Lancers and have also invited 10 non-profit organizations from our surrounding community to attend our volunteer fair. There will also be a letter writing campaign for students to write to their local legislators to express the importance of supporting the SBCTC budget request.
I have been working in close relation with our VP Jacob Smith to transfer over job duties associated with the food pantry. So far everything has been going smoothly with a few minor hiccups to be expected.
