Bio: As a student, athlete, tutor, peer mentor, coach, referee, friend, first-generation student, and member of our community, I believe that it is important to provide service for students, especially to those experiencing hard times. I am a member of the Puente Program and served as the  President of the Associated Student Government in 2022-2023. I was nominated as a candidate for the Student Senate for California Community Colleges election, with the ambition to promote student advocacy for the students of the State of California. I intend to fight endlessly to bring students’ voices with all matters that relate to the education of students and constantly stand for student rights. My overall goal is to destroy educational barriers at Palomar before I transfer to a four-year university to help others also achieve higher education.

Bio: Hi, my name is Grant Wass, and I am a first-year Biology major and performance violinist as well as the current president of the Palomar Wildlife Club. As the elected  Student Trustee for the 2023-2024 school year, I will encourage more research opportunities to students in STEM by requesting either an expansion of the Bridges Program or the implementation/publicization of other research programs between Palomar students and local four-year universities. I would also propose more funding for our talented school musicians, artists, and other resource-underrepresented trade students, for they are also an integral part of Palomar’s diverse community and deserve more district investment. 
As the Palomar College’s next Student Trustee, I will make sure that everyone’s voice is heard, and be a valuable asset to the student body in contributing to positive, impactful decisions made at the Palomar College Governing Board.
