Spring 2024 USU and Associated Students election results
After about two weeks, the spring 2024 University Student Union (USU) Board of Directors election has been decided for the 2024-2025 academic year. Four CSUN students have been elected to serve their two-year term in the student government until June 2026.
Associated Students (AS) elections were also held this semester.
Students could vote online from April 9 to April 11 or in-person at the Campus Student Store, Cleary Walk, Library Lawn and Plaza del Sol from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The USU Board of Directors is a team of students who make important contributions to the campus and are responsible for the Student Recreation Center, the Pride Center, the Oasis Wellness Center, the Veterans Resource Center, and the DREAM Center.
The positions on the board will go into effect after a transition ceremony that will take place on June 10. The students selected for these positions are Leof Chou with 418 votes, Mishell De Leon with 416 votes, Ricky Rosado with 311 votes, and Vyom Pathak with 247 votes.
As stated on CSUN’s 2024 BOD elections page, Chou has held leadership positions before and aims to provide more sustainable and eco-friendly options that are accessible to CSUN students. He also wants to encourage an environment that is respectful and equitable. De Leon is dedicated to making sure there are more education opportunities available for students, and that students are learning in nurturing and supporting environments.
Rosado wants to make policies for USU organizations that are practical and manageable and create more opportunities for students. Pathak’s objective is to create compelling policies that adhere to the student body’s aim of creating a campus that has more diversity and inclusion.
