“Mr. Rugeley(-Valle) since he has joined Associated Students has gone above and beyond his duties as the Government Administrative Assistant and now the Leadership and Government Coordinator. He continues to always provide an open ear and mind to all students with any concerns no matter the time of day. Mr. Rugeley(-Valle) makes time and room for students of all backgrounds and confirms their voice, identity, and needs. He immediately puts every student first and goes out of his way to make sure every student he encounters has the resources they need to succeed in higher education and in life post-grad. His leadership has been seen by inside and outside partners resulting in NASPA awarding him the Outstanding Leadership in Student Government award for the 2022-2023 academic year. Mr. Rugeley(-Valle) is beyond a doubt a treasure to the SJSU students and the community.”
