Maria “Nely” Rivera-Guerrero
SGA President
A Message from the President
My name is Maria “Nely” Rivera-Guerrero. I am a proud first-generation student and am honored to be the Student Government Association president.
I joined SGA in hopes of being a part of something that would make a difference. My goals are to create a more diverse student government so that we can represent everyone to the best of our abilities, showing that there is a space open for everyone and that there is a familiar face who is passionate about student life for all our fellow Yetis. I also seek to improve student involvement and awareness for our SGA while creating an inviting atmosphere on campus so students not only see but feel our support here at CCC.
Another focus I have is to share CCC with the community by doing more community service so that we can proudly say we serve our college, our students and our community.
While searching to make a difference in and through the SGA, it has already begun to make a difference in me. SGA has helped me improve my skills in many areas, given me an unmatched support system by creating bonds, and given me an avenue to become a better person and leader, one whom students can come to for help. I am grateful to represent CCC as we all work together to improve the experiences of others.
