Vanessa Mendoza
Vice President of External Affairs, Associated Students
My name is Vanessa Mendoza, and I’m a Political Science major at Sonoma State University and a transfer student from Sacramento City College. I am originally from Elk Grove, California, and I’ve always been passionate about civic engagement and public service. Since transferring to SSU, I’ve taken on several leadership roles, including serving as a Youth Voice Youth Vote fellow with LEAD California, where I helped with the It Matters! Series on campus. I also serve as a Committee Chair for the SSU Young Democrats, where I help coordinate political outreach efforts. This fall, I look forward to the opportunity to serve the SSU community as the Associated Students Vice President of External Affairs. I enjoy building community through political advocacy and student leadership, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
