Siddharth Menon VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE Contact Information, Statement: As I drafted this statement of my intentions for my position, I felt unsure regarding the image that I needed to portray to all of you – would I need to include a laundry list of intentions to indicate my capability or, would it be necessary to write brilliant words of hope and inspiration to come across as a leader? In the end, common sense ruled and hopefully within these words, you are able to grasp the essence of why I ran for office in the first place. |

Derek Volk DIRECTOR, COLLEGE OF EDUCATION & ALLIED STUDIES Contact Information, Statement: Hello my name is Derek Volk and I am a Recreation Major in the school of College of Education and Allied Studies (CEAS). I was born and raised in Southern California, but came up to East Bay to experience the Nor Cal life. I wanted to become more involved with school and decided to be a part of the RAW Committee last year. As an ASI Recreation and Wellness Committee member, I learned that students can make a difference, as evidenced by the completion and grand opening of the state-of-the-art Recreation and Wellness (RAW) Center. The RAW is a good start, but I want to continue the recent progress we have seen at Cal State East Bay and further improve the services we offer our students. Some additional improvements I would like to see for our CEAS students include improving the quality of Kinesiology labs, increasing the availability of popular classes required for graduation, and expanding internship opportunities for CSUEB students in the local area. |

Humberto Rosas DIRECTOR, COLLEGE OF BUSINESS & ECONOMICS Contact Information, Statement: As an East Bay native raised 5 miles down the hill, there’s nothing more that I want than this campus to prosper, and be the ‘go to’ college when talking about CSU schools in the Bay Area. I am a double major undergraduate, majoring in Business Administration, with a double-option in Marketing & Advertising / Public Relations, as well as majoring in Art, with a double-option in Graphic Design & Multimedia. I am a proud member and brother of the fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE), as well as a member and current Vice President of Advertising & Promotions for the American Marketing Association. As you can see, I am a busy and active individual, but this is nothing new to me. I am used to doing whatever that I need to do, and sacrificing whatever that needs to be sacrificed in getting the job done; and I will make sure I will do the same as the ASI Director of College of Business & Economics. As Director, I will make sure that I will be a link between not only between students and the College of Business & Economics, but as a link for all students and the University of Cal State East Bay. |
