                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 24, 2019

  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service 
of social justice advocate and student, Jocelyn Villalobos.
  Jocelyn is a first-generation student at Los Medanos College and 
plans to pursue a Master's Degree in public health or nursing. In 
addition to her work on student government on issues such as education 
equity and improving graduation rates for minority students, Jocelyn 
also works with groups to prevent sexual violence and to promote safe 
educational environments for undocumented youth.
  Jocelyn is involved in many clubs and organizations including La Raza 
Unida, Outreach Ambassador, Puente, Interfaith Space Committee, and 
Public Safety Committee. She recently completed her one-year term as 
the Student Trustee on the Contra Costa Community College Board, which 
allowed her to weigh in on important decisions for the District.
  She has served on the Associated Students at Los Medanos College for 
two years and just completed her term as Commissioner of Campus Events. 
In 2017, Jocelyn's commitment to the community and advocacy for 
underrepresented students were recognized when she received the 
Jefferson Award twice for her public service as well as the Antioch 
Youth of the Year award alongside her twin sister, Jacqueline.
  Please join me in wishing Jocelyn Villalobos good luck with her 
endeavors in college and beyond, and thanking her for her commitment to 
the students of our district.
