"I am thrilled to once again have a student trustee serve with our full board, one who understands the many academic and personal challenges college students face," said Chair Chancer. "Through sharing his perspective as a first-generation college student, he can help inform the conversations around enhancing the student experience at the District's colleges."
A political science major, Rodriguez serves as president of M.E.Ch.A. (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx De Aztlán). He is also an active member of the Political Science Club at Ventura College, which focuses on the interests of students aspiring to enter politics.
Some of his policy positions include increasing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that benefit students on campus and in their communities and addressing the impact of financial insecurity within the student population. In addition, he advocates for a more flexible curriculum and creating a culture of community and student engagement at Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura colleges and Ventura College East Campus.
