Associated Students Inc. at Cal State Fullerton serves as the student government and a nonprofit auxiliary corporation. It offers various engagement and development opportunities, including leadership, volunteer and employment experiences. ASI provides social, cultural and recreational opportunities, along with diverse programs and services to campus-community members. Every part-time or full-time student automatically becomes a member of ASI through semester fees. These fees are managed by ASI’s student-elected board of directors and executive staff, supporting student governance, university shared governance, student activities programming, funding for campus organizations and athletics, as well as operating the Titan Student Union, Student Recreation Center and Children’s Center.
Executive Officers
The ASI executive officers include the elected president and vice president, and a cabinet of three appointed officers. They support students by facilitating their needs and interests to the CSUF administration, faculty, staff and campus community. They manage the day-to-day proceedings of student government and programs and initiate projects that benefit students. In addition, the executive officers report progress on strategic initiatives to the board of directors.
Board of Directors
The ASI board of directors is composed of two voting representatives from each of the eight academic colleges on campus, as well as other officers and representatives. The board sets policy for Associated Students Inc., approving all funding allocations to programs and services, and advocating student interests on committees and boards. The board of directors meets every other Tuesday at 1:15 p.m. in the ASI Board Room of the Titan Student Union. These meetings are open to the public and all students are encouraged to attend.
Involvement
Students don’t have to be elected to an ASI office to participate in student leadership. They can get involved in ASI by serving on committees, working on programs and helping to develop new programs and services. Participation on committees as a student representative or volunteer provides networking and campus-involvement opportunities, giving insight into how the university functions, plans and manages issues.
