Students vote to elect new members for organization

Every spring semester, students are able to vote for which members they want to be in the student organization cabinet for the following fall and spring semesters.

The Associated Student Organization is focused on representing students on various campus committees as well as the board of trustees. The organization also represents El Camino students at campus wide committees and also state and nationwide conferences, Breanna von Stein, ASO adviser and Student Services Specialist, said.

The elections saw a decline in voting from students this year, dropping from 226 ballots issued in April 2014 to just 166 ballots issued in April of this year, von Stein said in an email.

This semester, there were three candidates for the Associated Students President, and the winner was Vishu Gupta, von Stein said.

In addition, both Stephanie Pedrahita and Eman Dalili were elected for Vice President and Student Trustee, both running unopposed in their categories.
