– Hello, hello, thank you for the introduction Alex. I remember in my junior year high school, I was looking for potential colleges. I knew for a fact that be staying in the state. I just didn’t know where and what for. Let’s just say I found everything I was looking for on this campus. Montclair had set me the academic leadership and career path that I can only dream of. I have been blessed to have branched out to the various opportunities this campuses has had to offer. When I was a first year student here, I was in search of a passion. To this day, I cherished those moments as a first year student. Where I attended a variety of events, such as seminars on professionalism, finances, goal setting, discussion groups, and even the educational events that were offered here at Montclair. I realized year after year, how important it’s to get involved. I have taken part in involvement with student organizations, just like the Brotherhood La Hermanda, the Latin American Student Organization, the Black Student Union, the Fashion Club, and Rise Up. I am now executive president of the Student Government Association. My advisors, my friends, my Montclair State University family have given me a map to navigate not just my life, not just my major, but my path to where I’m at now, and my rights of leadership on campus. From the leadership skills I have developed to the various campus positions I’ve taken part in. I could not have imagined how things would’ve gone, if I did not take it upon myself to make the decision to come to Montclair. Thank you for listening to my story, Alex.

– Ashon, I know a lot of people have been watching and applauding your rise as a valued student leader, while at the same time navigating and advancing your academic and career path. You certainly have my vote. Well done, Ashon, cheers.
