David DiDenti (Region IV Representative Candidate)
I am a passionate Gavilan student that believes in bettering Gavilan College life for students first,
but also for those who are work at the college. Some of my goals towards bettering college life
include: increasing awareness of Region IV ideas/issues, increasing awareness of community
college state level ideas/issues, and increasing student advocacy by ASGC members. I am
interested in joining ASGC to continue advocating for the students of Gavilan College through ASGC meetings,
Gavilan campus shared governance committees, Region IV meetings, and community college state level
processes. I believe the goals and college life I have for Gavilan College students may be accomplished through
what I bring to the college. I have extensive educational experience that includes an MBA, a BS in Information
Technology, and five degrees from Gavilan College: Computer Programing, Programming for the Internet,
Business Computer Applications, Liberal Arts Computer Science and Information Systems Emphasis, and
Communication Studies. Additionally, I have five semesters as an ASGC member that includes two semesters as

organizations that include president of Rho Alpha Mu and Communication Club.
