Hi hi Anteaters, hope everyone’s having a great school year so far!

My name is Jun Jang, I’m a 5th year Asian American Studies and Political Science double major (hoping to minor in Public Health), and I’m excited to serve as your Elections Commissioner for the 2024-2025 academic year!

I’ve been a part of our student government since my first year at UCI, starting my advocacy journey in ASUCI as an Organizing Staffer under the Office of the External Vice President – fighting for affirmative action, college affordability, housing security, and a more sustainable and ethical dining service on campus. Since then, I’ve served as your Student Programming Funding Board Director, your At-Large Senator for two years, your Senate President, and your ASUCI President – I’ve been around for a while, so if you’re ever interested in getting involved, feel free to reach out!

As your Elections Commissioner, my goals for this year are four-fold: 1) to increase our campus’ voter turnout to reach that ever-elusive 20% threshold, 2) to encourage more students from all across our campus to file for candidacy, 3) to make our elections as engaging, exciting, and impactful as possible, and 4) to revamp our governing documents so they’re more conducive to student involvement in the future! If any of these goals sound interesting to you, consider applying to join the Elections Commission – the more, the merrier!

Outside of ASUCI (which is pretty rare for me haha), I chair our campus’ Student Fee Advisory Committee and Student Health Insurance Advisory Committee, work at our campus’ Basic Needs Center as a Basic Needs Advocate, and perform with Hansori at UCI, our campus’ Korean traditional drumming club! Chances are, you’ll likely see me around campus running from meeting to meeting with a matcha latte in hand, so feel free to say hi – I’m always down to connect :D
