AssociAted students, inc. (Asi) made significant strides towards realizing its mission during the 2012-13 fiscal year. As an organization that is led by, funded by and largely staffed by students, the ASI students and staff demonstrated outstanding passion and impressive commitment to ASI’s motto of “students serving students” and additionally, serving the campus community.

Student advocacy was a dominant theme throughout the year as the ASI student government leaders successfully lobbied for the passage of Prop 30 to prevent further cuts to the CSU budget. An aggressive voter registration campaign yielded an unprecedented outcome of 1,800 students who voted at the Bronco Student Center (BSC) during the 2012 Presidential election. The ASI student leaders effectively advocated for the allocation of Student Success Fee revenue towards increased availability of classes for students. The passage of the Student Success Fee consequently led to a student referendum to reallocate ASI funding to support student organizations. The referendum yielded a favorable vote from the student voters and approval by the University President.

The outstanding leadership of ASI students and staff led to notable accomplishments during the year. The independent fiscal year audit for the prior fiscal year resulted into an unqualified audit opinion while the CSU policy compliance audit was completed without any material findings. The amended Articles of Incorporation were approved and officially filed with the State of California. Gas Creative Group, ASI’s marketing team, received nine (9) awards at the Association for College Unions International (ACUI) graphic design competition. Several ASI students and staff served in leadership roles at the campus and system-wide levels and received recognition awards for their outstanding performance.

ASI was engaged in collaborative partnerships which highlighted its commitment to fostering campus pride and support for diversity. For the fourth consecutive year, California State Student Association (CSSA) continued to work with ASI’s marketing team on the “Made in the CSU

Campaign.” ASI students and Children’s Center families provided representation at the parade and “Day at the LA County Fair”. Campus forums were hosted to create meaningful discussions about cyclist safety, campus parking and issues of national concern. In partnership with the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, Qdoba was opened as a new food venue in the BSC Center Court.

ASI continuously seeks to provide high quality facilities, programs and services to students and the campus community. The ongoing Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex (BRIC) construction project reached a major milestone with the completion of the BRIC pool and deck phase, thereby providing access to a larger and brand new infinity style pool for instructional and recreational use. The full build out of the 120,000 sq ft, three-story BRIC facility is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2014. A plan was approved by the ASI Senate to repurpose the current Bronco Fitness Center (BFC) space after its move to the BRIC.

First Friday and Weekend Programs reached new heights, as participation levels topped out at 10,000 attendees during the year. The Children’s Center was re-accredited by the National Association of Education for Young Children (NAEYC) for the next five years. A wide range of program and service offerings were provided through the various ASI offices and BSC lessees.

The accomplishments highlighted in this annual report are an outcome of the vision, dedication and commitment of our ASI team of students and staff. I sincerely thank each and every ASI team member for an outstanding year. I also thank our campus colleagues and off-campus partners for their unwavering support and contributions to our organization.

Sincerely,

CORA M. CULLAASI Executive Director

5 ASI ANNUAL REPORT 2012 - 2013

In 2012, post – secondary education in California continued to suffer financial losses. That very same year, the financial status of California’s higher education system had the potential to undergo further depletion if California ballot measure, Proposition 30 – “Temporary Taxes to Fund Education,” did not see a favorable voter outcome during the November 2012 election. If the proposition failed, there would have been an automatic $250 million dollar “trigger cut” to the California State University (CSU) system, which would have resulted in a loss of approximately $8 million to Cal Poly Pomona.

In partnership with the California State Student Association (CSSA), the Student Government leaders of ASI worked incessantly the fall quarter, taking an active role in advocating for students, higher education and its benefits to the State of California. Under the guidance of the Secretary of External Affairs, ASI was able to coordinate numerous voter registration drives and exceed our goal of registering 1,000 Broncos by 861 additional registrations. ASI also hosted a polling precinct for registered voters to conveniently cast their votes in the Bronco Student Center (BSC) on Election Day. The volume of voter turnout in the BSC was so immense that we ran out of ballots twice. All of that work paid-off with California voting favorably for Proposition 30 at a 55 percent margin – a great first step towards reinvesting in higher education.

Our Student Government and Bronco Events and Activities Team (BEAT) teams were extremely student-focused and driven. Both teams made it their mission to create the most enjoyable and fulfilling “learn by doing” experience for as many students as possible, to transform the Cal Poly Pomona experience from good to GREAT, and create a legacy that would make this ASI term one of the most memorable and influential. I truly believe that we accomplished these goals.

A notable inconsistency that Cal Poly Pomona has is its lack of school of spirit. Many students come to the campus sporting paraphernalia from other universities, head home immediately after class, and do not take the time to explore and invest in all this great University has to offer. This past year we felt that it was our duty to change this mentality and give the students something that they could

2012 - 2013 ASI ANNUAL REPORT 6

participate in that would ignite that Bronco flame. We felt as though the best solution to this dilemma would be to reestablish Homecoming Week! The last recorded Cal Poly Pomona Homecoming took place in 1976! Thanks to the hard work of ASI BEAT and various student clubs and councils, we were able to bring this idea to life and put on some great programs for the student body. The events included: Spirit Day/Homecoming shirt giveaway, Greek Sweet Sale, IHC I Heart Earth Day, Speed Dating, ASI Makes My Heart BEAT, Homecoming Concert, Alumni Mixer, and of course the Homecoming Game(s). The sporting events featured matches from both our Baseball and Basketball teams. It was a phenomenal week of events that I know will only grow and get better over the years, especially this upcoming year with ASI celebrating its 50th anniversary and the University celebrating its 75th anniversary.

ASI also wanted to make it a point to educate students outside of the classroom through programming and via the initiative process. The “EO 665 Initiative,” “State of Our Community,” “Project ReCYCLE,” and the “Guaranteed 4.0 Learning System – hosted by Donna O. Johnson, ”were a few of the programs that we put on challenging students to learn, interact and communicate on a different level and different environment, while acquiring helpful tips and learning from one another in the process.

ASI had its fair share of productive interactions with the University administration over this past year. Collaborations between the two governing bodies resulted in the funding adjustment of the Student Success Fee, the ASI funding reallocation, and the Traffic Safety forum. The Student Success Fee is a new fee that the University will be implementing in a multi-phased process starting in the school year of 2013-14. It will provide the University with resources to support student success through the enhancement of academic programs and offerings, expansion of information technology support and provision of services that enrich student life. After attending numerous open forum sessions during the consultation process, and feeling compelled to advocate on behalf of the student body, the student leaders of ASI wrote a resolution in opposition of the original budget allocation of the fee. After

Page 10: ASI Annual Report 2012-2013

7 ASI ANNUAL REPORT 2012 - 2013

numerous meetings with top University administrators and the University president, ASI and the University were able to come to a reasonable compromise. Over $500,000 more of the University’s Student Success Fee dollars would be devoted towards funding for more classes -which is where many students expressed that they would like the funding to go towards.

Additionally, the Student Success Fee would now fund Athletic Scholarships as well as ASI Tutoring; both of which were formally a budgeted expense of ASI. ASI was now in a unique position that we have not been in for many years due to the horrible budget constraints plaguing the CSU system. With the newly freed up funds, ASI decided to increase the budgets of the various student councils by nearly 50 percent. This decision was made in light of the fact that Cal Poly Pomona currently houses 300 student organizations – a significant increase from 200 organizations that ASI accounted for when the budget was originally established in 2002-2003. The last notable partnership with the University involved the collaboration of our first ever Traffic Safety Forum. This project was a joint effort with the University to hear the safety concerns of the campus community and provide feasible solutions in response to various accidents that occurred this past year on campus; in particular, the passing of Cal Poly Pomona student Ivan Aguilar in a tragic collision with a car while riding his bike on campus in late February. The forum proved to be very insightful for the University and some of the safety measures discussed at the forum are scheduled to take place as early as summer 2013.

Through unique partnerships developed through ASI BEAT, we put together new and innovative programs as well as the revamping of existing programs. Such programs were: “BroncoFusion –featuring Dom Kennedy,” “Humans vs. Zombies,” “Murder Mystery at Kellogg West,” “BEAT the Stress Week,” and the “Rave Cave” installments. In addition, Midnight Madness significantly increased in its attendance and in community sponsorships. “Safari Madness” was definitely the most

Page 11: ASI Annual Report 2012-2013

2012 - 2013 ASI ANNUAL REPORT 8

memorable and successful of the Midnight Madness series of this past year, it featured a hot air balloon and camels on campus.

This year, we literally and figuratively “broke ground” with the Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex (BRIC). At the beginning of our year, we shoveled the first pile of dirt, and by the end of the year we were completing Phase 1 of the BRIC implementation and staring at the newly installed swimming pool. With the leadership of ASI Executive Director Cora Culla and Director of Recreation Krista Smith, we were able to tackle the majority of tasks on the BRIC timeline. With their help, we were also able to create and approve a great deal of job descriptions of new employees that ASI plans to hire on as we prepare to almost double in organizational size.

As you can see, this year had its fair share of obstacles and responsibilities, but we handled it to the best of our ability and had one of the most successful and memorable years ever. Personally, it has been an honor and privilege serving you this past year as ASI President. I am truly thankful for the experience – it forever changed my life. I hope that I have set the foundation for future years to be successful and that I was able to leave a legacy for others to enjoy. In any endeavor you approach or undertake, remember to always strive to, “be the change YOU wish to see in the world,” and always put your best foot forward. Thank you for taking the time to read through ASI’s Annual Report, and I wish you the best.

Sincerely,

CHRIS OSUALAASI President
