Dana Rose Crystal
"I am Dana Rose Crystal, a long-time re-entry student with experience in student government and various courses. I want to serve the school, district, and community in which I live and work. I came to Fullerton College to gain skills and education, not only to earn a living but to participate in society; I want my voice heard, especially where it is needed. Everyone needs to become involved with their community and be open to hearing the needs and views of others. We are all in the same “lifeboat” planet Earth, so all are stakeholders in its present and future. As a long-time re-entry student, with multiple majors to complete, I have an especially strong need for involvement. Student government is meant for us to share in decision-making, such as hiring personnel, funding of programs that need a knowledgeable and unintimidated student voice. The Student Trustee is empowered to speak on behalf of all students; to advocate for improvements in our education and for teachers and staff who genuinely support us. I’d advocate for the empowerment of ALL students. Many are vulnerable and marginalized, and intimidated from seeking help and guidance. Each student must be recognized as a real person, with a real face/identity and individual struggles and needs. No one should have to fear for their safety, nor be marginalized in society, nor in employment, nor in education. I support genuine diversity: everyone gets a seat at the table with their voice heard and concerns addressed. Please elect me as Student Trustee.
