2012 ASCC Resignation Letter
This was not an easy thing to do let alone an easy decision to make. I am grateful for the rewarding involvement I have had with the student government. It is with regret that I must concede that my studies are what now need utter most focus and attention due in part to my current student status as a transfer student and athlete.
This decision has been a long and awaited one. I have spent many hours deliberating on this decision and recently reached my final answer. My position as the ICC chair has had many trying times, but I had never lost sight of my goal which were three fold: one; to increase camaraderie throughout meetings and within clubs, two; increase on-campus club involvement in order to work as a collective and third; to create a continuous unifying body that seeks to uphold the welfare of the students.
As a campus composed of faculty, administration, staff, students, and many more people with dedicated service for this school and community we are faced with many challenges. These challenges are not what define us, let me tell you, but rather shape our future. Time and time again, the faculty on this campus sacrifice their own time and energy for our own dreams and because of that this year is a call for our own action and to ‘Step Up.’ Stepping up is not a new concept to us here today, a simple concept that basically means to do a little more, to commit to action and do the extraordinary. I admit, it will not be easy, for there is still work to be done.
Work that must be done—to increase communication on campus that keeps our students aware and involved in campus events and news to clubs, organizations, and even faculty.
Work that must be done—to welcome our ever increasing freshman to a friendly campus with a lively student life. To promote the active student with pride in our campus with an increasing of new clubs and club involvement.
Work that must be done to tackle these budget cuts as we sacrifice our education to meet the demands of fees, shortened classes, and the decreasing library hours.
This is our task and we are Chabot’s Keepers and its our legacy. And I am still up for this challenge, the challenge to re-awaken and re-affirm our enduring values and most importantly our indomitable spirit, an indomitable spirit to never quit.
Please acknowledge this letter of resignation and I will do my utmost to finish the outstanding projects and for a smooth transition. My last day of work will be effective immediately.
Sincerely,
