Ava Noelle Reichow

As the ASCC Student Relations & Promotions Coordinator, I serve to connect Clark students and faculty, representing community needs and advocating for action. It is my responsibility to support and promote Clark’s events, clubs, and services to all Clark students. A goal of mine is to establish stronger connections between Clark’s art programs and the PDX art and entertainment hub. This is my second year at Clark, and I’m working towards a degree that will aid me in my long term goal of becoming an Art Director. Outside of art, I enjoy cooking, the outdoors, and some video gaming. 

ASCC Club Coordinator 

Jake Markham

jmarkham@clark.edu

As ASCC Club Coordinator, I am excited to start helping others at Clark. I'm bringing my positive attitude, organizational skills, previous club knowledge, and can-do attitude to my position. I'm currently a graphic design student, with my number one passion being photography. I love going places and taking pictures, especially when I can capture the beauty of the outdoors or explore new cities with my camera in hand. When I'm not studying or taking photos, you can find me hiking a new trail, being creative (writing, drawing, etc.) or enjoying a good book. I look forward to working with you all!

ASCC Executive Assistant 

Araia Lim

avlim@clark.edu

As ASCC Executive Assistant, my goal is to keep student government transparent and efficient—posting clear agendas, capturing every vote, and turning meeting minutes into actionable next steps—so every Penguin feels informed and empowered to get involved. I’m now in my second year at Clark, working toward an Associate in Computer Science before transferring to WSU Vancouver to continue in computer science. Off campus, I recharge on the volleyball court, in the pages of a good novel, or exploring new places with my favorite travel partner—my little sister. Family, curiosity, and a love of learning fuel the energy I bring to serving Clark’s students.
