Cathy Neale, Associate Director of Marketing & Public Relations In support of the Policy Agenda and increasing campus presence, ASI needs to go where students are at. MDPR has student brand ambassadors and suggested to have a mini ASI 101 / Student Experience presentation in classes, Council meetings, or student club meetings. The student brand ambassadors are students, and if there is a meeting they can present at, it would just have to line up with their work schedule in MDPR. They want to increase the ASI brand and campus, and with it being a goal in the Policy Agenda, they want to help achieve that goal and make some strides. Any further ideas on how to expand the ASI brand, reach out to MDPR 2. Jason T. Wong, Officer of Legislative Affairs The Social Justice and Equity Committee at the California State Student Association (CSSA) divided up neighboring schools to work on social justice and equity issues affecting the campuses, and the Northern schools are focusing on Social Justice for Josiah, which is regards to a death of a student at Humboldt State University. For further information on the story, please reach out to me or to Ashley. The reason why I am bringing this up is because I am working on undocumented student issues with Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Bakersfield. I am working with Itzia and Tyler on drafting a letter on behalf of Jenny to support our undocumented students. If there are any other issues you are hearing from your constituents, please let me know I. Special Presentation 1. Mid-Term Elections 2018 Breakdown Presented by Jason T.
