A Note from the GASG President

As president of the University of La Verne’s Graduate and Adult Student Government (GASG), I am committed to the principles of shared governance and institutional equity. My goal is to ensure that the diverse voices of our adult learners and graduate researchers are integral to the university’s decision-making process. We are building a policy framework that supports every student's success. Serving the 2025-2026 Academic Year.

Eric Anthony Devezin: I am a Doctor of Public Administration (DPA) student and the 2025 Equity Fellow, focused on the intersection of administrative theory and lived reality. As President of the Graduate and Adult Student Government (GASG) at the University of La Verne, I work to bridge the gap between policy and practice. My research critiques "straight time" in administrative systems, advocating for timelines that include non-normative life cycles.
