Community Chat, launched by student government, is designed to encourage student advocacy and engagement at all levels, promoting meaningful conversations where voices can be heard and concerns can be addressed.
“The ASI Community Chat is an important space that helps amplify student voices and enhance student empowerment,” said Joe Morales, ASI President and CSUF student. “It gives students the spotlight and allows them to ask us anything—whether it’s about campus policies, resources or current concerns.”

“Now more than ever, we need students to amplify their voices,” Morales emphasized. “This is the time to speak up and speak out against any and all issues they may be facing; there are serious concerns affecting our campus and our state, and it is crucial that students realize just how powerful their voices are.”
For students unable to attend in person, the event will be livestreamed via Zoom, where students will have the opportunity to ask questions or submit them through a form.
