Ruth Ferguson - ASCC President Contact: asccpt@clark.edu Hello, Penguins! I am Ruth Ferguson, your ASCC President, and am delighted to be serving you this year. It being my second year at Clark, I look forward to graduating in June and moving on to a four-year institution fall 2012. At Clark, I enjoy being a member of the Speech and Debate program, Women’s Choir, and the German Klub. Within the community, I am serving my third term on the Clark County Youth Commission and love to volunteer, network, and meet new people. My job within ASCC is to give every student at our lovely school a voice, through representing the student body’s desires as best as possible. That said, I would love to hear any advice students may have to offer and how we can help serve in the most effective and efficient ways possible. Visit any time -- I look forward to working for every one of you this year! |

Contact: ascccc@clark.edu Hello, my name is Trina Wing and I am this year’s ASCC Club Coordinator. I am a Mechanical Engineering student and my goal is to transfer from Clark to Portland State University. As Club Coordinator I’m responsible for overseeing pretty much everything that has to do with a club. I was in clubs last year at Clark so I have the experience to make a smooth transition into this position. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my kids, playing disc-golf, and building motors. I will be available to students and clubs every day that there are classes, so please drop in, email or call, and I will do my best to help you.

Contact: asccad@clark.edu Hey, my name is Hannah Nye and I’m proud to be your new ASCC Activities Director. As Activities Director, I oversee the Activities Programming Board budget, plan events for students, and sit on the ASCC Executive Council. It's my goal this year to get as many students involved with activities as possible and also to promote events that interest students. This is my second year attending Clark College to finish up my AA degree. I aim to transfer to a university and become a Chemical Engineer. When I'm not busy in the office, I enjoy running, baking, and hanging out with friends. If you've made it this far into my introduction, I challenge you to try and get involved yourself. I'm open to all ideas for events, activities, or anything good for students. I hope you all have a great year here at Clark!

Contact: asccpr@clark.edu Hi there, my name is Caitlin Weingarz and this year I’m proud to call myself your Public Relations Director. In my role I’m responsible for overseeing all promotion and advertising that comes from the Associated Students of Clark College (ASCC). As a representative for student voice, I aim to increase the amount of feedback I receive in order to involve each of you in the decision making and evaluating process of our events. This is my second year at Clark and I will be transferring to a four-year university with my AA next fall. I’m definitely a people-person and enjoy trying new things and meeting new people. I love music and playing my piano, guitar, or violin and just singing at random. I love to travel and hope to see the world someday soon. I’m not sure what I’d like to do in my future career endeavors, but I’m interested in business, politics, economics, international relations and anything that offers the ability to evoke positive change. I look forward to serving you this year and encourage you to come say hello to me or any officers in the Student Life and Multicultural Student Affairs Office in PUB 160. We want to hear your voice and I’m here to help, contact me anytime! |

Contact: asccex@clark.edu Hi, I’m Shellie Onstead, and I’m your ASCC Executive Assistant. I’m the one who gets to attend the meetings, and post the different minutes from them for everyone to review. I’m currently attending Clark for Nursing, I’ve been here for three years and then I hope to transfer to one of the four-year colleges. I hope to be a pediatric nurse one day, but right now I’m enjoying learning all I can! I hope to make sure that everyone, be it student, staff, or faculty has the chance to know what is going on with the meetings that I attend for the ASCC. I love to read, go to the movies, or anything with the arts. I’m a big fan of going to the beach and being in the water in general. I also go to events on the weekend, school/work/money permitting, and reenact in the Middle Ages (for more information go to SCA.org, and look up the kingdom of AnTir). I hope that I get to meet, and work with all types of students and community members while in this position. |

Austin Theis - Activities Programming Board
Contact: asapb2@clark.edu
Hello! My name is Austin Theis and I am currently in my second year at Clark College as a Business Major. After I graduate from Clark, hopefully in spring of 2012, I plan on transferring to a four-year school in the Vancouver/Portland area where I will continue my education to receive my B.A. in Economics. As your student representative, I would love to hear your opinions on potential events at Clark College. Part of my job as student event coordinator is to bring events that you, the student, want to participate in. My specific title is Social Events Coordinator which in essence means I plan all of the PARTIES! This year I have made it my primary goal to promote involvement in student government through these events. We have some amazing things planned for this year, so please come say “Hi” to us, check out upcoming events, grab some free coffee and have your voice heard by talking to any of your student representatives in the Office of Student Life and Multicultural Student Affairs.
Pierre Boissin- Activities Programming Board
Contact: asapb4@clark.edu
Hello everyone, my name is Pierre Boissin and I am glad to be a part of the Activities Programming Board as your Cultural Events Coordinator. This is my second year at Clark College as an International student and I plan to study languages in Tokyo, Japan once I complete my AA degree. As your Cultural Events Coordinator I am in charge of planning events for Clark students where hopefully you can learn, discover and enjoy events based on a different culture. This year I would really like to get more students at events so we could all enjoy many different cultures. Even if studies take an important role in my everyday life, I am a really big fan of sports and music. Please, do not be scared of my French accent and feel free to stop by ASCC’s office or send me an email if you have any suggestions!
For more information call the ASCC & Student Life Office at (360) 992-2441.
ASCC looks forward to welcoming you.
