Welcome Back to the A.S. Government Corner!
Recently, your student advocates passed two resolutions.
The first resolution, In Support of Joining the Institute of International Education's (IIE) Syria Consortium for Higher Education in Crisis, asks our university to join the IIE's Syria Consortium in support of Syrian refugees.
The second resolution, In Support of the Santa Clara County Measure B, shows our support for the measure and its goal to grant students greater flexibility, convenience, and ease of transportation when commuting to San José State University.
With elections on November 8th drawing closer, A.S. will host a discussion on the California propositions featured on the ballot. Please join us this Thursday, November 3rd, 5:30pm in Diaz Compean Student Union - Suite 1400.
