Elections

Serving as both a Senator and now President has given me a strong sense of purpose at Napa Valley College. As a STEM major, I’ve been here for a while, and staying engaged on campus has made that journey more meaningful. This role pushed me to grow, and I know I can carry those lessons into a second term. I am proud of how close and supportive our board has become. We’ve accomplished a lot together, but I believe we can do more. Students at NVC need a President who will continue to show up and work for them.

I wish to be appointed Vice-President of the Associated Students of Napa Valley College due to my unwavering passion and continued commitment to achieving students' diverse interests. By previously serving a Senator-at-large position, I've gained the proper experience and confidence to strive for a greater leadership role on the board. Thus, I will advocate and provide resources for those who I lead to my fullest potential. Additionally, aiming towards creating an inclusive leadership environment for aspiring leaders. All in all, I acknowledge that a position on the board comes with great responsibility and fosters opportunity for enrichment of our community.

I am a dedicated and hardworking student who does not take anything for granted. I have experienced numerous challenges in my life, many of which are difficult to compare to each other. I have worked in a variety of jobs and held multiple positions, which has allowed me to adapt and collaborate effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I am capable of both representing the student body and serving as a reliable and approachable resource for my peers. I am confident in my ability to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

 I am running for Student Trustee because of my strong mindedness of wanting to make sure the students are heard, I want to make sure everything is set with budget and make sure there is equality taken into consideration the students future.  It is important to make sure the students are not put in a certain predicament as far as cutting funds into, I would be a great student advocate and a great voice for for the students, I am very active in the community and I am a student myself that has experienced the struggles with college rather it be mental health or financial issues.  That why I am sure I will be a great candidate. 

Following my term as Senator-at-Large for the Spring 2026 semester, I am hopeful to continue my service on ASNVC during the 2026-2027 term as Student Trustee.  Through my role as a Senator, I have gained a deeper understanding of the responsibilities involved and the importance of advocating for students' needs on campus.  I am grateful for the opportunity to have witnessed the groundwork being laid to ensure that student voices are not only heard but remain integral to institutional decision-making.  Serving as Student Trustee would allow me to further my mission of strong student advocacy, which initially inspired me to run for my role as Senator-at-Large on ASNVC.

On my first day at NVC, I saw untapped potential: beautiful unused spaces and a disconnect between our students and the thriving Napa Valley community.  As Business Club Vice President, I bridged this gap, connecting students with business leaders in finance and beyond.  However, recent budget cuts threaten the very tools we need to succeed.  I am running for Student Trustee because I refuse to let these challenges diminish our community. I will be the bridge between our campus and the Valley, ensuring every student has the professional connections and institutional support required to turn their education into a career.

Hello, my name is Lionel Williamson, and I am a sophomore at Napa Valley College.  I am a Political Science major with aspirations of becoming an attorney.  I am also a student-athlete on the school's baseball team, which gives me a unique perspective.  Joining ASNVC would allow me to advocate for student-athletes.  Student-athletes often get overlooked on campus.  As a member of ASNVC, I will advocate for all students and ensure that student-athletes receive the same attention as their peers.  All students should have a voice on campus.  As a leader, I intend to make sure everyone feels heard.

I am interested in becoming part of the Students Associate Board because I believe that it is important for the students' voices to hold a significant influence over the decisions made by the College.  My objective is to make sure students' needs and inputs are being heard.  I also want to have a strong approach into implementing inclusion in all ambits, making sure all the events planned make everyone feel like they can participate.  Lastly I want to focus on students accessibility to mental health on campus, making sure everyone on campus has resources available.

I want to join the ASNVC Student Government because, as a first-year college student, I am eager to get involved and make a meaningful impact early in my academic journey. As a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, I value leadership, service, and academic excellence.  I care deeply about representing student voices and helping create a more inclusive, engaging, campus environment.  Through this role, I hope to advocate for diverse perspectives, strengthen communication between students and administration, and contribute to initiatives that improve student life while developing my leadership skills and building strong connections within the college.
