Student Executive Council


The Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences & Technology Student Executive Council (SEC) is a joint council comprised of one representative from each of the student clubs and organizations within the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (JCAST) at California State University, Fresno. Members of the SEC include elected officers, the Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) Senator from JCAST, and a faculty advisor representing the Office of the Dean.

SEC provides a means whereby the students in JCAST are more fully represented, both within JCAST and the Associated Students, Inc (ASI) Senate. SEC supplies an avenue of communication between the students, the faculty and the administration of the JCAST. Students are given the opportunity to have their voices heard by serving on the JCAST ad hoc committees, and the university Student Cabinet.

SEC meetings allow clubs from different departments within the college to communicate with each other. The clubs have the advantage of submitting a combined budget request for ASI funds each year. Participation in the SEC is beneficial not only to the clubs, but also to the individual representatives, who develop leadership, parliamentary procedure, and communication skills through interaction with the other members of the council, faculty and administration. For more information on the SEC, please contact the Office of the Dean of the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology at (559) 278-2061.
