Becoming an ASI student representative has been a really positive experience. My participation has allowed me the opportunity to make a difference on campus by being able to vote on campus initiatives concerning sustainable actions at Sac State. It's an excellent way to become involved with the campus and truly make a difference without sacrificing huge amounts of time. Getting involved with this committee has been one of the best choices I've made during my time at Sac State, both personally and professionally.
