Foothill-De Anza Community College District 50th Anniversary Video

Hello and Welcome to your Student Trustee's Website,

My name is Thomasina Countess Russaw and I am honored to represent you at the District Level. This is my second year at De Anza and I have been involved in several clubs, particularly the Black Student Union (BSU).  I've also served on the DASB Senate on both the Diversity and Events and Environmental Sustainability Committees, and I currently work as a student coordinator in the Institute of Community and Civic Engagement (ICCE).

As you all know, there are major issues in our economy today which have led to an increase in fees and less availability in terms of space for enrolling in classes. De Anza has been a great school to me, it has prepared me to succeed. In return, I would like to help improve the current conditions in order for each one of you to achieve your goals. I will be advocating for you at the monthly Board Meetings and I strongly encourage you to share with me your concerns, hopes and desires to allow me to better represent them. So far, I have been asked to work on environmental sustainability, whichever other issues you would like me to address, please feel free contact me. Your ideas and opinions are extremely valuable to me.

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

Thomasina Countess Russaw
