Publish Date: June 29, 2021

On May 3 through May 7, Crafton Hills College students voted virtually to elect their student senate executive officers. Here is the new leadership team for the 2021-2022 academic year:

  • President: Madeleine Boone
  • Chief Internal Affairs Officer: Tiana McBride
  • Chief External Affairs Officer: MadelineGonzalez
  • Executive Assistant: Seth Ceballos
  • Chief Academic Affairs Officer: Robert Alexander
  • Chief Financial Officer:Ashley Peterson Student Trustee: Lauren Ashlock

Boone, a sophomore, said she hopes to serve as the voice for her student body and to rally for their goals at the college.

“I know students have countless meaningful and productive ideas that have the ability to make CHC the best it can be,” Boone said. “I hope to serve as an advocate for the student body to deliver those ideas and make them a reality. I know especially in the times we are in right now, the more ideas that are voiced, the more solutions there are to our obstacles.”

She said she wants to use her position to grow her leadership skills and to help her fellow student senators and executive officers grow in their roles, as well.

Boone, who plans to transfer to University of California at Irvine to earn a Bachelor of Science in physics, said choosing CHC was easy for her as she valued the kind of community that the college offers to its students.

“Growing up in a small town like Big Bear, I have grown used to a small, supportive community of people who genuinely care about me,” said the College Honors Institute and Promise Program student. “A college that was both close to home and had a caring community like Big Bear will provide me with not only an amazing experience but will also be a great gateway to my future endeavors. Luckily, CHC just so happened to have everything I was looking for.”

She cited her CHC calculus professor, Jillian Robertson, as her inspiration to teach. Even through remote learning, she managed to build a community in her class unlike any other.

“Jillian showed me the huge difference a good teacher can make, and I hope to be even half the teacher she is,” she said, adding that she is among many instructors and professors at CHC who helped create that community and college experience that so many students are looking for.
