SAN BERNARDINO >> The San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) Board of Trustees installed newly elected Student Trustees Beverly Rapouw from Crafton Hills College and Pablo Machado from San Bernardino Valley College at their last board meeting. “Serving on the Board of Trustees provides both students with the opportunity to learn first-hand about balancing the needs of their various constituency groups against the constraints of the budget and competing priorities," said John Longville, president. "They also will have wonderful opportunities for training in teamwork, leadership, planning and communication.” “We look forward to working with both Student Trustees and to providing them with an in-depth learning experience," said Bruce Baron, SBCCD chancellor. "Serving in this position allows them to identify specific issues that the students are interested in, to research those issues and to offer policies and procedures for the Board to consider.” Crafton Hills College Student Trustee Beverly Rapouw is an Anthropology and Communications major who understands that every student is an integral part of the Crafton Hills College campus. Throughout her life, Beverly has been involved in outreach programs that worked to serve the people around her. When she joined Student Senate for the 2016-2017 school year, she realized how much more of an impact she could produce in her community, more specifically with the student body of Crafton Hills College. Beverly desires not to change the people around her, but to bring about the change that they would like to see. She has the ambition to represent them, just as they are, and to advocate for what they stand for. San Bernardino Valley College Student Trustee Pablo Machado is a second year student. He plans to transfer from SBVC to Cal State San Bernardino in the spring of 2018. Pablo has lived in San Bernardino for 21 years and hope to do so permanently. His hobbies include volunteering with a variety of organizations, including the Inland Congregation United for Change and helping students become familiar with the campus and with college processes. His goal is to run for Mayor of San Bernardino one day in order to gain experience in order to address bigger issues, then for the U.S. Senate, and one day hopefully to run for President of the United States of America.
