“I never imagined being a student body president,” Mazie Lee, Fresno City College Associated Student Government [ASG] president said. “But I wanted to help people grow to their full potential and get students involved on campus.”

Prior to serving as ASG president, Lee was a senator during her first year in ASG.

As president, she oversees everything that goes on with ASG, makes sure that every action the association makes follows the bylaws in their constitution.  

Lee also runs ASG meetings during which the student government discusses upcoming events, possible plans and more; meetings are open to students and are held on Tuesdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Senate Chamber, located in the College Center.

Lee has a plan to create an app for FCC, to allow the college to reach students through social media and get students more involved with on-campus activities.

“There’s a lot of time management,” Lee said. “Following my student planner so that events don’t conflict with one another helps me prioritize my time to study for tests and the time I need for ASG.”

ASG is made up of a group of elected and appointed students who represent students and their interests in the college, district and state.

“We [ASG] are only as great as our student body tells us,” said Matthew Scott, ASG senator. “We can only advocate so much change, and with students voicing their opinions and expressing their ideas to us, is the only way we can be a great student government.”

ASG has devoted a large amount of time to recruit students as well as participate in activities such as the “Keys to the City” event.

“With their [students’] opinions and ideas,” Scott said, “ we can help make the right changes for our students and campus.”
