Adrian T. Quintanar Commissioner of Activities
I offer the warmest of salutations to each Chaffey College student. I am Adrian Thomas Renee Quintanar, and it is with honor and pride that I intend to represent your voice and opinion as a member of the ASCC Senate. As a first time Chaffey College student in the summer of 2010, I was deeply unaware of the resources and opportunities made available to us as students. Through becoming involved with the Spanish Club both as an active member and as President, in addition to becoming a member of the Honors Program, among other activities, I have gained a richer college experience. Every student of Chaffey College is entitled to having this enriched academic experience, but it begins with awareness, and awareness begins with the simple step of asking questions. Though I may not have all the answers, I am more than willing to go above and beyond to get the answers for any of you that approach me with any concerns. Your college experience is what you make of it, thus I would encourage you to not only become an active body on campus, but also an active mind on campus. With that said, now that you are aware of what my face looks like, I invite anyone to join me in the realm of comfort where I am open to sharing more about myself, and most importantly, where I am waiting to listen to you!
Joann Nieves Commissioner of Inter-Club Council
My name is Joann Nieves and I am a Business Economics major. 2012-13 is my second year at Chaffey College. I am actively involved on campus, participate in Peer to Peer Mentoring, CalWorks and the EOPS/CARE programs. I believe in the value of a good peer system. Students deserve every opportunity to excel at Chaffey College and I understand that getting involved in campus life such as activities on campus, clubs and organizations is very important to a successful college experience.
Michelle Bernardino Senator
Greetings Chaffey Students! My name is Michelle Bernardino and I currently serve as one of the senators in ASCC student government. As a previous member and officer of the Spanish Club, I quickly learned that establishing modes of communication and collaboration were key elements to fulfill the club’s goals. With this acquired knowledge, I hope to be a source to you all and become that link of communication to create even stronger ties between student government and its student body. I wholeheartedly believe that a rewarding academic year at Chaffey College is attained in conjunction with being part of the student life on campus, whether it is by attending lectures, discussion panels, plays, or simply being a member of one of the many enthusiastic clubs on campus. I hope to address any of your concerns that may arise in the future in order to make this current academic year enriching for you all!
Kevin Coduto Senator
Since a young age, I have been passionate about pursuing my interests and achieving my goals. As a high-school freshman, I started a successful photography business. This early entrepreneurial undertaking sparked a lasting interest in business and leadership. My name is Kevin Coduto and my life is composed of hard work, integrity, and ambition. I’ve been at Chaffey College since fall semester 2011 and a member of ASCC since August 2012. Chaffey College is a wonderful school with beautiful campuses, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a member of ASCC. I was introduced to ASCC by the current president who encouraged me to join. As a member, I will work hard on ventures that will benefit the Chaffey College student body as a whole. My educational plan is to transfer to a tier one university in 2014 to earn a business degree.

My career goals include: obtaining a PhD in Psychology, becoming a family therapist for mixed families, in this case when there are children of mixed residency status, conducting pioneer research for such families, and breaking down stereotypes about undocumented persons as a professor. Furthermore, I aim to form a scholarship foundation to help others in their educational endeavors. As an AB 540 undocumented students, my main purpose as an ASCC Senator is to be a voice for those students who feel they are not being heard. My ASCC colleagues and I strive to make your college experience the most fulfilling and enjoyable and are here to help you in any way possible. “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” - Nelson Mandela
