APRIL 10, 2013 – FORT MYERS, FLA. –Twenty Edison State College students will be in Orlando April 11-13 to attend the Florida College System Student Government Association (FCSSGA) conference. The conference will host students from all of the Florida College System’s 28 state and community colleges.
Students who will represent Edison State College at the FCSSGA conference are: Vlad Alce, Nhey Ann Mating, Priscila Barravecchia, Christina Berdeaux, Webster Duplessis, Joe Garita, Leticia Gil, Angelica Gonzales, Ivan Guererro, Yurley Jauregui, Lupe Lopez, Mario Lozano, Crystal Marie Gomez, Manuela Martinez, Crystal Perez, Anne Romelus, Juan Saldivar, Jiesha Stephens, Matthew Thomason, and Jacob Winge.
They will participate in a variety of educational sessions, networking opportunities, and the FLT leadership training program, which prepares students to become state certified leaders. These student delegates will also determine the future of FCSSGA as they elect a new executive board, which includes Edison State College nominees Jacob Winge for president and Joe Garita for vice president. If elected, Winge and Garita will make Edison State College history as the first Edison students to hold president and vice president positions.
“The FCSSGA conference is a great opportunity for students from all of the Great 28 colleges to come together and learn from each other,” said Sue Buntic, Collier Campus Student Life Coordinator. “We are also very excited to see how the students vote in the executive board elections and if they choose Jacob and Joe to represent them in the coming year.”
FCSSGA represents the nearly one million students enrolled in the Florida College System's 28 colleges. It promotes legislative advocacy and training, leadership development, service learning, promotion of campus activities, and strong citizenship. The organization was created to unify the member colleges in order to best attend to the appropriate concerns of the students of the Florida Community College system and serve as a vehicle to communicate these concerns to the Florida Legislative Body.
