ASO Executive Board

 ASO President

Mr. Luciano Morales is the ASO President for the 2011-12 school year.

He has been a student (Psychology major) at Los Angeles Southwest College since Summer 2009.  Luciano plans to graduate and receive his A.A. in Psychology from LASC Spring 2012, he also aspires to transfer to Loyola Marymount or University of California, Berkeley to earn his B.A. Ultimately, his goal is to receive his Ph. D. in Psychology from USC and to establish a non-profit that will address the unique needs and complacent behavior that permeates the South Los Angeles community.

As an LASC student, Luciano has sought every opportunity to amplify both his academic and individual growth. He credits programs such as EOPS and TRIO Scholars for assisting him with the tools to become a scholar. Realizing the importance of being a successful student, Luciano has maintained a 3.5+ G.P.A. Furthermore, his grades earned him honors during the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 semesters. His leadership experience includes serving as president of the Latin American Student Association (LASA) for the 2010-2011 school year. Last year, Luciano was one of five students selected to represent LASC in the Hispanic College Quiz, a national competition held in Chicago; this opportunity propelled his desire to motivate other students to participate in these unique opportunities.

As President of the Associated Student Organization, Luciano will implement a strong student volunteer base to assist both students and the college community. In addition, he will also attempt to create a culture of unity to ensure that students, faculty, and staff work together to provide a well-rounded education and enhanced college experience for all students. Most importantly, he vows to work with the ASO Executive Board and listen to the voices of all LASC students and support them as they take ownership of their college campus.

 Executive Vice President

D’Joy Robinson-Cagle is the 2011-12 ASO Executive Vice President, and was the Administrative Vice President of ASO from 2010-11.

Ms. Joy is how she is known to some and she likes to be mother all. She is a Sociology Major and prays to come back to Los Angeles Southwest College to be a counselor. Her qualifications are President of Anointed Students 4 Christ, former President of Hip Hop Congress, and secretary of the SAADA (Students Against Alcohol /Drug Abuse). Ms. Joy is serving as Intern with the American Federation of Teachers and has been in a Ministerial program for the past three years and was Ordained on May 29, 2011.

Los Angeles Southwest College has been a great stepping stone in her life; she would not have been able to withstand and endure all it takes to be a good student without the help of some great, strong women here at LASC - T. Alfred, K. McBride, S. Turner-Odem, M. Williams and K. Wright. She calls them her five fingers of hope on the hand of help. She plans to leave a great deal of promise and hope to the generation behind her by stating “You can do all things through Christ who straightens you” and “You Can Be What the World said You Can’t.”

Executive Secretary

Antoine R. White has been the ASO Executive Secretary from the 2010-11 academic year until the present.

He was born and raised in Los Angeles, where he currently serves his community as a youth mentor at the City of Refuge Church.  He also loves singing, playing tennis, and spending time with his wife and three adopted children. Antoine says there is no job too large or too small that he can’t handle.  He considers it an honor and a privilege to serve the students of Los Angeles Southwest College.  His hope is that God will prepare him to inspire our students to make a difference in the lives of others.  He offers this inspirational quote: “Together we stand, divided we fall.”  Antoine feels it is important for all students at this campus to band together and gather their resources to make 2011-2012 a successful academic year.

From Antoine: “Thank you in advance for your cooperation and dedication…God Bless.”
