Hi, I'm Victoria Quesada-Stoner, a third-year Psychology major with a concentration in Addiction and a minor in Ethnic Studies. I'm running to serve as President of the Associated Students of Colorado State University.

Today I serve as Chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and Key Plus Mentor with Key Communities. In volunteer roles, I served as the Co-President last year and now President of The Body Project, as Senator for the College of Natural Sciences, as a member of the College of Natural Sciences, and as a member of the University Fee Advisory Board (UFAB). These roles are more than titles to me; they are opportunities to connect with our students, foster belonging, and create meaningful impact. Through this work, I have strengthened engagement, improved fundraising and outreach efforts, expanded marketing strategies, and learned how to effectively delegate and lead collaborative teams.

Outside of leadership, I am someone who finds joy in connection and new experiences. I love volleyball, sports, painting, snowboarding, reading, spending time with friends, and being anywhere with live music and good energy. My family plays a pivotal role in my holistic health, and my greatest inspirations are my mother and sister, who have supported me from the very beginning. Their strength and encouragement remind me daily why community, resilience, and compassion matter.

I believe leadership is about growing together, respecting one another, and building a campus where every student feels supported, empowered, and seen.

Hey! I’m Ben Gregg, a candidate for Vice President of ASCSU. I am a junior double majoring in Philosophy and Economics at Colorado State University.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Unified Success within ASCSU. In this role, I’ve gained firsthand experience navigating the dynamics of student governance, improving communication across branches, and developing initiatives that create real impacts for students.

Beyond this position, I’ve had the privilege of serving as president of several student organizations, where I focused on building strong executive teams, fostering inclusive community spaces, and increasing member engagement. My leadership experience also includes serving on the Board of Student Organization Funding and the Sport Clubs Advisory Board, giving me insight into how resources are allocated and how we can better support student organizations across campus. These roles have strengthened my commitment to transparency, accessibility, and thoughtfulness of student fees, a central aspect of a strong ASCSU Vice President.

Outside of academics and leadership, I enjoy learning how to DJ and produce music. I’m also an avid Denver sports fan, and you’ll often find me keeping up with the Broncos and the Nuggets! Overall, I truly value strengthening my community, and that is exactly what I bring to my work in ASCSU every single day.

I’m running for Vice President because I care deeply about making ASCSU more impactful, more collaborative, and more connected to the students it represents.

We are committed to fostering meaningful collaboration between students and CSU Administration. Our goal is to ensure that students are not only present at the decision-making table, but that their voices are actively heard and uplifted.

By building strong, working relationships with CSU Administration officials, we promote open communication, accountability, and transparency. We advocate for students, faculty, and staff when policies or decisions impact our campus community.

We are also committed to transparency in how your money is being used. This includes providing clarity around student fees and ensuring that funding decisions are communicated openly and responsibly.

02. Food and Housing Security

Student success begins with stability.

We are committed to strengthening food security efforts across campus by supporting Rams Against Hunger, expanding awareness of pocket pantries, and hosting educational events that highlight affordable meal options. We will also increase visibility by providing clear maps and accessible information across campus so students know exactly where to find available resources.

At the same time, rising housing costs continue to place significant financial strain on students. Many are unable to live on campus or are forced to work multiple jobs or take on additional loans to cover rent. We will work with local and state officials to advocate for meaningful, tangible solutions that help reduce housing burdens. Additionally, we will educate students on tenant protections and recently passed legislation designed to prevent hidden fees and unfair housing practices.

Ensuring food and housing security is not optional. It is essential to student success.

Students, faculty, and staff are the foundation of CSU. Students fund and shape this university, professors cultivate learning and innovation, and staff ensure our campus runs every day, and our leadership must reflect and respect each of those roles.

We are committed to proactive outreach across campus. That means meeting with students one-on-one, hosting listening sessions, visiting student organizations, and creating accessible educational resources so every student understands how their student government works and how to engage with it. While not every student wants to serve in student government, every student deserves transparency about where their money goes, fair access to funding, and a positive, supported college experience.

We value—and truly cherish—student input. Our administration will prioritize open communication, advocate for equitable funding, and ensure every student has the opportunity to shape their CSU experience.

04. Cultivating Joy on Campus

We are incredibly excited to share our vision for bringing more fun, joy, and community to campus life. College should be a time filled with energy, exploration, and connection. Where students come together to create memories that last long after graduation. At CSU, clubs and student organizations play a powerful role in making that happen. They are spaces where friendships are formed, creativity flourishes, and laughter often finds its way into even the busiest days. We also understand that getting involved is not always as easy as it should be. Some of the tools designed to help students connect with organizations, like Ramlink, can feel unclear or outdated, making it difficult to know which clubs are active or how to get started. As your student leadership team, we are determined to change that. Our goal is to reduce unnecessary barriers and create an environment where every student feels welcome to start something new, join something exciting, or simply share what they love.

Most importantly, we want to continue the sense of joy that already exists at CSU while also strengthening it for years to come. Supporting student events is not just part of what makes CSU special; it is the very heart of it. These moments of connection bring our campus together, foster belonging, and remind us all why the CSU community is so unique. By uplifting the people and programs that bring joy to others, we can ensure that CSU remains a place where every student feels inspired to grow, contribute, and belong.
