Since the beginning of the quarter, eight senators have been appointed by the De Anza Associated Student Body.
The DASB is the elected government organization designed to enhance the college environment through student involvement in the decision-making process. Student government financially supports athletics, clubs, dances, speaker and film series, creative arts events, La Voz, and social events.
Active participation in student government provides the opportunity to gain skills and knowledge in group dynamics and program planning.
Students are encouraged to participate in the development of co-curricular programs and the formulation of general college policies. Participation of students in the governance of the college is affected through membership and participation on all major college boards and committees. There are still some senate seats open.
