President



Hello people of OYFA, 

According to OYFA tradition, April 1st indicates the turnover of the New Executive Board and Council.  My name is Joe Malasa and I assure you that I will try to do the most in order to best serve you as your President.  I’m currently a Second Year studying Psychology and minoring in Leadership, and I really enjoy the company of others.  I seek to improve my ability to listen and acquire new perspectives, so please come chat with me sometime!  I hope you guys enjoyed this Barrio weekend and I hope that you are ready for the 30th anniversary of OYFA!

I hope you’re ready for these young and brand new leaders of OYFA! 

Sincerely,
30 Prez 
Joe Malasa (jpm5ye)

Treasurer


 

Helllllllo oyfa,

This is Jane back here again for another round with OYFA. I’m a 3rd year Nursing student, trying to minor in Religious Studies. I like the blackberry cheesecake popsicles from La Flor Michoacana, the Lawn when it’s 70 degrees and breezy, hanging out with friends who cook, and my bed when it’s warm and there’s heavy rain outside. I have a lot of ideas going into this year as Treasurer, and I’m very happy to work alongside such wonderful and passionate individuals for OYFA’s 30th birthday. Always feel free to come to me and I’ll provide a listening ear.

Peace and love,
JC Dolla Sign

HellOYFA! My name is Dorian Nguyen and I am your new advocacy chair! I enjoy spending copious amounts of time the MultiCulti and being fake deep about everything. I hope you all are just as excited as i am for the new year because it’s going to be a lot of good times, go hoos! I have so many new ideas for advocacy and I’ve been planning a special event for the 22nd, so be on the lookout for more updates! To start off my term; here is my first word of the week: 
“pahinga” (pah - hing - a), which means rest! Barrio season is now over so we can all pahinga and enjoy our free time outside of practices rooms!
