Welcome Back Panthers!
This is Tiffany Guerrero, your new incoming Student Government Association (SGA) President. SGA is proud to announce that we have two full branches for the second year in a row! On August 13th, the SGA held our annual oath ceremony where incoming members, including myself, took our oath to serve you, the PCCC student body, for the entire academic year. SGA would like to thank everyone who attended our oath ceremony! This included Phi Theta Kappa and their Advisors, Professor Gasparino and Professor Perales, Associate Dean of Student Affairs Evelyn Ortega, Professor/Director of Adult Education Winster D. Ceballos, and The Center for Student Engagement staff.
I was the Vice President of SGA in the previous year, so some of you may already know me. I am so excited to be returning as the President. I am very thankful for all the students who voted for me and trusted me to be the upcoming president. Lastly, I would like to say thank you to my advisor Ian Wolf, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement, former SGA President Sure Aygun, and special thank you to former advisor Rafaela Ramirez, who guided me throughout last year about the importance of student engagement and advocacy. I will be continuing Sure's legacy of what she advocated for the students. I am grateful to have been surrounded by a team of mentors to guide me and I will work to improve PCCC with all that they have taught me.
A little bit about me: This academic year it will be my second year here at PCCC. I will be graduating in the Spring semester with my associate's degree in business administration. After getting my associate's degree, I will be transferring to a four-year university and major in marketing. I am very excited to keep working with PTK, Athletics, the Wellness Center, and all other departments to keep PCCC thriving.
Without further ado, let me introduce to you the 2024-2025 SGA Members:
SGA Vice President Dania Perez:
“My name is Dania and I am the SGA Vice President. I am a sophomore at PCCC and I am majoring in Biology. After PCCC I hope to continue my education going into the field of forensics. In my free time I love creating art, and reading. I joined the SGA because I wanted to help make an impact and make sure students are seen and heard.”
SGA Treasurer Andres Restrepo:
“Hello! My name is Andres Restrepo. I am the Treasurer for the Student Government Association of PCCC. I am currently studying Engineering Science. This school year, I aim to create a positive impact on the school environment and leave a legacy for future student governments.”
SGA Secretary Chloe Neil:
"My name is Chloe Neil, and I am a second-year student at PCCC, majoring in Communications. Beyond the confines of the classroom, I actively participate in various extracurricular activities, such as clubs, and devote my time to being a member of the SGA. These experiences have enhanced my organizational skills and deepened my appreciation for community building."
SGA Speaker Elizabeth Ramos:
“My name is Elizabeth Ramos and I am a passionate Computer Science major whose love for the field is fueled by my enjoyment of technology and problem-solving. Outside of my academic pursuits, I have a huge heart for musical theater, with favorites including "Dear Evan Hansen", "Hamilton", and "Hadestown". I enjoy singing and have a deep appreciation for movies. As the school's Student Government Association (SGA) Speaker, I am excited to contribute to the SGA and support my fellow students in making a positive impact on campus. I look forward to this year!!”
Meet Your Senators:
Ah’Janee Dunston (Paterson Senator):

Conor Guzman (Wanaque Senator):
“Greetings! My name is Conor Guzman, a current resident of Wanaque of NJ and a full-time
criminal justice major here at PCCC. For this upcoming 2024-2025 academic year, I will also be one of your newest Student Government Association Senators. In a post-PCCC world, a few of my goals include: obtaining a bachelor’s degree in political science, a bit of teaching, and law school. One piece of advice I can give is to get involved—join a club, or attend a special event on campus. Let’s chat! ctguzman@students.pccc.edu.”
Janet Hilares (Paterson Senator):
"My name is Janet Hilares. I was born in Peru, and I am a business administration student. I work at PCCC and actively participate in campus events, merging my academic and creative passions for fine arts and learning foreign languages. I am also passionate about traveling. My journey across three continents working and volunteering has been incredibly enriching, giving me a profound appreciation for diverse cultures, opening my eyes to new perspectives, and forming meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. Being elected as an SGA Senator is truly an honor for me. I'm excited to work closely with our diverse and multicultural student body, knowing that our backgrounds and perspectives are our greatest strengths. I'm eager to collaborate with everyone to create an inclusive and vibrant campus community. Together, we can make our college a place where every student feels valued and empowered."
Tori McLary (Passaic Senator):
“I'm Tori, the senator, and I'm thrilled to be a part of SGA. I'm a dedicated and hardworking individual who always strives to contribute positively. My peers would say I'm reliable and responsible, always ready to lend a helping hand.”
Rashel Medina (Paterson Senator):
“Hi! My name is Rashel Medina, and I'm honored to be one of the SGA’s senators. My major is
exercise science, and I aspire to become an occupational therapist. I am very passionate about leadership and making positive changes on campus. Aside from education, I believe college has to offer so many more opportunities, like networking and personal growth, which I plan to highlight as a senator. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, cooking, and drawing. I can’t wait to make great connections and experiences for all of us.”
We are excited to meet you all as well as wish you a great start to the fall semester. If you see any of us in the halls or in your classrooms, come say hi (we won’t bite)!
