Hello Long Beach State!

Welcome to a new and exciting year! I am honored to serve as your 2024-25 Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) President. This is my second year with ASI and I’m looking forward to using my time and knowledge to take on new challenges with this position. As a fellow student, I am not only ready to conquer this academic year, but also lead our campus and community into excellence as President.

Whether you are an incoming student or a returning one, I want to extend my warmest welcome as you embark on a new year at Long Beach State University (LBSU). Here at The Beach, we aren't just a university, but a vibrant community where we value and strive to uplift everyone. Inclusive clubs and organizations are the backbone in bringing a sense of belonging within our campus. This year, we hope to enhance this feeling of community and involvement for all students.

At ASI, it is our mission to make your voice heard and enrich your experience during your college career. This year, we will take a proactive approach to ensure our leaders focus on student connection. I plan to have leaders on the ground to speak with students about their campus issues. Whether it be for a specific college or community, our goal is to ensure that all needs are addressed to the best of our ability.

As we start this academic year, I want to make sure that you have access to all the resources that LBSU has to offer. Be sure to check out Basic Needs, the Lauren Chalmers ‘83 Beach Pantry, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Career Development Center and Cultural Resource Centers.

In addition to all the university resources, we also like to have fun! That’s why we are kicking off the school year with Smorgasport—the best on-campus carnival experience you’ll find anywhere! This event is free for LBSU students, so don’t miss out. See you at parking lots G1 and E3 on Friday, Sept. 13, from 6 – 10 p.m.

And remember, life is always better at The Beach.

Nikki Majidi
