Associated Students Organization
The Associated Students Organization (ASO) is the student government of El Camino College. We serve as elected representatives for the student body.
We, the Associated Students Organization, support El Camino College students in achieving their individual success in higher education and beyond. We advocate for the diverse needs of our student body and collaborate with campus leaders on crucial initiatives based on student voices. Additionally, we create an uplifting community by engaging with local governance and hosting campus-wide events that enhance the student experience.
To the students of El Camino College, we, the Associated Students Organization, believe in the following values:
Equity: Opportunities for success that cater to the diverse needs of students regardless of their identity.
Collaboration: Connections with students and the transparent advocacy of their interests with campus partners.
Community: A welcoming environment aimed at encouraging civic engagement and a rewarding student experience.
We, the Associated Students Organization of El Camino College, aim to cultivate an inclusive and long-lasting community where all students are supported in achieving their goals.
Public Access to Meetings
Per the Ralph M. Brown Act, all government meetings must be readily accessible to the public. As of February 2024, all ASO online public agendas have been transitioned to BoardDocs, consistent with college Participatory Governance Committees. BoardDocs can be accessed by clicking this link.
Once on the site, go to the upper right corner and click on the drop down menu that has a "column" icon and says "Board of Trustees". Select "Associated Students Organization" from the drop down list and you will see all meetings. Meetings for the current week are featured, all other past meetings can be found by year.
