Quentin Gee, Chair
UC Santa Barbara, 2010
As Chair of the Board of Directors, I work with the vice chair to organize weekly calls, serve as a key contact for major CSSC issues, and help with fundraising for the organization.
Tessa Joy Salzman, Central Coast Regional Coordinator
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, 2013
In this role I plan to co-host events each quarter as a way to bring our CSSC family and extended network of student activists together in between Convergences and Leadership Retreats because twice a year is not enough! The events will be anything from potlucks on the beach, to camping trips, to day hikes or any other excursions our regional group decides upon. They will be an opportunity to gain support from one another for projects we’re each working on on our own campuses and an opportunity to strengthen the CSSC bond we all share!
