Skagit Valley College - Whidbey Island
Student Organizations (SO)
How did you get involved?
I completed majority of my Associated University Transfer Degree online through Skagit Valley College, but returned a year later to pursue the nursing program. My older sister was involved with the development of the Asian Pacific Islander Club in the late 1990s and I was approached by the club supervisor to become involved with the group. After a few months of being an active club member, I was then elected as president. During my one year term, I assisted in doubling the club membership involvement and increased campus awareness of the club services. I was then approached by the Student Organization Adviser and Student Program Board Adviser for a paid student leader position; which I held for two years. When the Student Program Board Adviser left to purse a different position, I was nominated by the Student Government to take on the role as a Student Adviser. Through this journey, I have discovered my capabilities in helping and advocating for campus involvement especially with parents. From this experience, I was motivated to pursue my Human Service BA degree from Western Washington University.
