“SGA will start implementing new communication techniques as well as distinct student outreach methods, to increase all student interest and engagement. We want every 圣安东尼奥学院 student to feel represented.”

Representation is a very important issue for Espinoza, who is disabled and uses a wheelchair. 

“Before I came to 圣安东尼奥学院, I had many other institutions deny me opportunities due to my disability without even giving me an opportunity to show my capability and passion for my education,埃斯皮诺萨说.

She added that she was greeted with open arms when she come to SAC and soon connected with others who were not afraid to reach out to her. They also encouraged her to get involved in campus life, which led here to run for student government.

“Using my platform as president, I can keep advocating for more opportunities and maintain that welcoming environment for other students and give them that second chance that SAC gave me,”她说。.
