Hey guys! My name is Ameera Chaudhry and I am a second-year pre-engineering student at Norco College running for president of Associated Students of Norco College. I am running for this position to advocate for students and help strengthen the bridge between student voice and campus leadership. During the 2025-2026 academic year, I served as a senator of the administration within ASNC, which gave me an opportunity to work and interact closely with members of ASNC, participate in decision-makers that affect us, gain insight on how ASNC functions and be part of devising policies that will benefit students. As President, I will apply my background as a Senator of Administration and work to promote transparency, access, and student involvement. Some of the things I would like to achieve are better communication between ASNC and the students, ensure that ASNC uses student funds responsibly, and supporting events and initiatives that will foster a greater sense of community at Norco College. It’s also important to me that students of all types feel represented and come equipped with knowledge. So, I ask for your vote because I have experience, am dedicated to representing and advocating on behalf of students, as I genuinely love doing it.

Hello everybody! My name is AJ Darcy, and it is my pleasure to run for ASNC President!
Norco College has been my home for a long time; this upcoming term will be my 6th year as a Mustang. Before becoming a full-time student, I attended JFK High School across the street, where I began engaging with Norco College through clubs and courses. I have seen this campus grow and change, and I want to use that experience to help it reach its full potential.
I stay active across campus as VP of Molecular Society, Co-VP of STEM Club, and Media Manager of Caduceus Club, while also participating in other organizations and faculty committees. These roles have given me real insight into the challenges students and clubs face.
I know that sometimes students feel that their voices are not heard, which is something I want to change. If you have seen me around campus, that would not change as president. I will stay engaged with clubs and students, making sure ASNC is a place where concerns are heard, feedback is welcome, and action is taken.
Beyond campus, I have served the City of Norco and have been recognized with scholarships for my community engagement. I am committed to being transparent, taking action, and advocating for every student.
Your given vote is a vote for an experienced, involved, and caring president who will always be present to listen and support you. Your voice matters, and I will make sure it is heard!

This position will allow me to further engage in leadership and impact here at Norco College. I want to collaborate and ensuring the clubs and events run accordingly to meet their need. I am detail oriented and structured. I want to make sure student voices are heard not just implemented. After being Student trustee and experiencing College Corps,I would like to work with my peers as student body rep.
I am motivated in wanting other student leaders to also get ahead as well in efficiency. I would like to take on the roll of being able to work under pressure and seeing what it’s like to work as a team with other ASNC leaders. I would like being a part of the organization that helps improve how our campus runs by ensuring our voices lead to action
Theresa Guevara - Vice President of Administration

Hi everyone, I’m Theresa! I’m running for Vice President of Campus Administration because I want our student government to be organized, transparent, and centered on the people it serves. As the Public Relations Officer for the Criminal Justice Student Association, I’ve gained experience communicating clearly, planning effectively, and supporting a team. All skills that directly connect to the administrative responsibilities of this role.
If elected, I will help maintain and enforce our bylaws, so our student government operates fairly and consistently. I will serve as Elections Commissioner to ensure transparent, trustworthy elections where every student’s voice is respected. I will also help guide legislative discussions, keep our policies organized and accessible, and promote awareness of how campus government works so more students feel informed and involved.
Most importantly, I always put my people and my team first. I love to socialize, plan, and be there for others. When challenges arise, I stay calm, look for solutions, and make sure everyone’s feelings and perspectives are considered. If you’re looking for someone who leads with steadiness, communication, and a people‑first mindset, I’d be honored to earn your vote.
Adishvar Kahlon - Vice President of Administration

Hi, I'm Adishvar Kahlon, and I'm running for VP of Administration. Not because it's the next step, but because I've already been doing the work.
As Senator of Administration, I rebuilt our processes from the ground up, cutting the friction that slows student leadership down. Those changes are permanent and already making a difference.
I also know firsthand what's at stake. As an honors student involved in undergraduate research and academic conferences, I've seen how much opportunity opens up when student leadership actually works. I want that for every student at Norco, not just the ones who already know how to navigate the system.
As VP of Admin, my goal goes beyond maintaining the office. I want to grow it. With leaner systems in place, Administration can take a more active role where students actually feel it: simpler and faster student-facing tasks, and active support for ASNC events so organizations spend less time on paperwork and more time delivering for you.
Less bureaucracy. More for students. Vote Adishvar Kahlon for VP of Administration.
Jonathan Yang - Vice President of Campus Activities

Hello everyone!
My name is Jonathan Yang and I'm so excited to be running to become your VP of Activities. Within the next school year, I'm eager to help create a lively campus culture that'll serve as the foundation for lasting memories and Mustang pride!
You might me know me around campus as a vice president for Norco College's pre-health club, the Director of Media for the Honors program, or just a friendly face in your class. As a student here at Norco, it was important for me to get involved and build connections with other students. Being VP of Activities is just another step forward in contributing to the Norco College community.
My love for leadership is rooted in being an Ambassador of the Eastvale STEM Academy where I helped plan student & community events with hundreds of attendees, directed campus tours, and organized local middle school outreach presentations. These experiences helped me build strong communication skills and establish a leadership ideology rooted in uplifting others.
What I loved most about being an Ambassador was contributing to something greater than myself. Here at Norco, I promise to be equally thoughtful and devoted to the task at hand. You can come to expect the tradition of great events like Harvest Festival and NOMU, Norco College's music and arts festival, but also expect fun new events tied to the interests of the student body.
It would be an honor if you voted for me to become your next VP of Activities!
Gunit Gadhoke - Vice President of Campus Activities
Email: ggadhoke1@student.rccd.edu
Hi, I’m Gunit Gadhoke, a second-year engineering major, and I’m running for VP of Campus Activities.
I want to help make campus life at Norco feel more active, connected, and actually worth sticking around for after class.
Some things I’d focus on are:
- Hosting weekly or biweekly events so there’s always something happening on campus
- Organizing tournaments like chess, gaming, and sports that are easy to join and fun to compete in
- Working closely with clubs to co-host events, so they’re more engaging and have stronger turnout
- Improving promotion through Instagram, flyers around campus, and in-class outreach so students actually know what’s going on
I also want to make events feel welcoming and low-pressure, so anyone can show up without feeling out of place.
As a Norco student, I understand how easy it is to just come to class and leave—but I think campus can be a lot more than that. With better planning and consistency, we can build a stronger sense of community here.
I’d really appreciate your support—vote Gunit Gadhoke for VP of Campus Activities.
Jasleen Grewal - Vice President of Campus Activities
Email: jgrewal2@student.rccd.edu
Hi everyone!! My name is Jasleen Grewal, and I’m running to be your VP of Campus Activities! As a biology major, I understand how easy it can be to get caught up in rigorous coursework and miss out on campus life. That’s why I’m passionate about creating activities that are engaging, yet still accessible and meaningful for all students-including those in demanding majors like STEM.
To me, campus activities are more than just events as they’re what turn a college into a community! They are where students find connection, balance, and a sense of belonging. In this role, I strive to create experiences that bring students together, highlight diverse interests, and make everyone feel like there’s something on campus for them.
I want to make sure every student feels represented and has opportunities to get involved, whether through hands-on activities, events, or programs that support academic and personal growth. With my leadership experience, I will actively listen to feedback and advocate for ideas that reflect what students truly want to see. I care about making sure student voices are actually heard and reflected in what we do, so campus activities feel more student-driven rather than general.
Additionally, I value both academic dedication and community involvement, and want to help create an environment where students don’t feel like they have to choose between the two. No matter what you’re studying, your experience matters and you deserve to have an amazing campus experience!. I would be deeply honored to earn your vote!

students

interests

know what’s happening
I also want to make campus organizations feel welcoming and inclusive, so anyone can get involved without feeling out of place.

I’d really appreciate your support—vote Ayaan Saif for Vice President of Campus Organizations.
John Bai - Vice President of Campus Organizations
Email: jbai2@student.rccd.edu
Hi, my name is John Bai, and I am running for Vice President of Campus Organizations to strengthen communication, increase engagement, and better support every student club on campus.
As an active member of campus life, I understand both the opportunities and the challenges that organizations face. If elected, I will work to make Inter-Club Council meetings more organized, transparent, and productive by ensuring clear agendas, accurate minutes, and open communication between leadership and clubs.
I will serve as a dedicated liaison for all student organizations, making sure every club feels heard, supported, and represented. I also plan to coordinate leadership workshops and collaborative events that not only bring clubs together but help student leaders grow and succeed.
My goal is to create a more connected and inclusive campus community where organizations can thrive, and students feel encouraged to get involved. By improving communication, increasing collaboration, and organizing engaging opportunities, I will help make campus life more active and accessible for everyone.

Hello everyone! My name is Analia Torres and I am a biology major in my 1st year at Norco College. All throughout elementary even I always loved student government and would jump at the chance to get involved. Here at Norco I don’t view our student government and peers as just colleagues, I view all of us as a community. When I first started college I found it pretty isolated since I was on my own. Through clubs and events on campus I made so many friends and met so many great people. I would love to be able to give that sense of community to other just starting their journey since I know how it feels being alone in a new atmosphere. I am running for Vice president of campus organizations and would love to make everyone feel included on campus whether it be in clubs or at events here on campus!

Social Media Link: LINK
My name is Arinze, and I am a first-year Biology major on the pre-med track planning to transfer to a four-year university. I am running for Vice President of Campus Relations because I want to help students feel more connected and heard on campus.
Through Umoja, I have gained leadership experience and learned the importance of community, support, and speaking up for others. I have also gained clinical experience as a Kaiser Health intern, where I worked under CNAs and nurses in a hospital setting. Working in an environment like that has taught me how to stay calm under tense situations, communicate clearly, and work with many different people. It has also helped me become someone who is easy to work with and easy to talk to as well as approachable when people need help or support.
When elected, I want to focus on improving communication between students, faculty, and campus leadership. I want students to feel comfortable speaking up, sharing their concerns, and knowing what’s going on around campus. I also want to help bring different groups together so our campus feels more connected and welcoming for everyone.
You should vote for me because I am approachable, easy to talk to, and committed to representing students. I will listen to your concerns, make sure your voice is heard, and work to create a campus where everyone feels included and supported.

Hello everyone! My name is Matthew Dumlao and I am running for Vice-president of Campus Relations!
As an engineering major, dancer, and current Senator of Relations in ASNC, I hope to use my variety of knowledge in both engineering, arts, and student government to engage the variety of students on campus!
My dance team has taught me that the most important thing for a group of people is taking the time and effort to maintain your relationships. Every space requires a small effort to engage everyone. I used that philosophy to start many things: A night market with the goal of providing the community with a variety of delicious cultural dishes AND a talent show that highlighted individuals’ cultures and skills. I hope to take these efforts of mine and contribute to our student population, putting forth the small effort that gets people excited!
Relations is that important avenue to promoting student life, providing an all-inclusive and understanding environment for the student body. I hope that with my experience, I can help promote an even more exciting Norco Campus for the students!

Abdullah Shafiq - Vice President of Campus Relations
Email: ashafiq1@stufent.rccd.edu
Hi, I’m Abdullah Shafiq, a second-year civil engineering major, and I’m running for VP of Campus Relations.
I’m running because I think communication on campus can be better. A lot of times students either don’t know what’s going on or don’t feel like their voice is heard, and that’s something I want to improve.
As VP of Campus Relations, I want to make information easier to access and more consistent so students are actually aware of events, opportunities, and updates. I also want to make it easier for students to share feedback and feel like it actually goes somewhere.
I plan to work closely with clubs and student leaders so communication is more connected and not scattered. When things are organized and clear, more people get involved and campus feels more active.
As a civil engineering major, I’m used to thinking about how systems work and how to make them more reliable. I’ll bring that same mindset to improving communication across campus.
My goal is simple. Make it easier for students to stay informed, get involved, and feel connected to what’s happening around them.
I’d appreciate your support. Vote Abdullah Shafiq for VP of Campus Relations.

I also plan to ensure that funding decisions are made thoughtfully, with an emphasis on supporting activities that bring students together and add value to campus life.
With a background in business, I understand the importance of responsible budgeting, organization, and accountability, and I’ll apply that to make sure student money is managed carefully and with purpose.
