Fremont, December 9: Indian-American Ishan Shah, 19, of Fremont, has been appointed to be a student representative on the California Student Aid Commission by California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr on
Nov. 19. Shah is pursuing a degree in political science at Ohlone College. Shah served as a commissioner on the Human Relations Commission in Alameda County from 2010 to 2011. He has served as a student senator for the Student Senate for the California Community Colleges from 2010 to 2011. This position requires Senate confirmation and the compensation is $100 per diem. “Since my campaign for the Ohlone College Board of Trustees last year, I’ve become hooked on educational policy. Thankfully Governor Brown is one of the limited number of politicians who backs up what he says. I believe he’s always been a supporter of students, and knows we have many tough battles ahead of us,” said Shah. Shah was named to the Alameda County Human Rights Commission last year. He has also served on the Student Senate for California Community Colleges.
