The purpose of ASCOM is to provide an environment where students can discuss concerns, identify solutions, resolve issues and provide a voice of advocacy for students to represent student interest within the shared governance structure. The responsibility of the organization and individual members is to represent the student body by taking fully informed actions, decisions, and make recommendations on behalf of the student body. This includes, but is not limited to, issues concerning shared governance, campus or district policies, and other matters under the jurisdiction of the governing body. We currently represent over 13,000 constituents.
