Vice President of Finance

Andre Achacon

Andre Achacon is a second-year undergraduate student at Long Beach State University (LBSU), bringing a fresh perspective to student government. As a son of Filipino immigrants, he learned the importance of relentless curiosity. His pursuit of knowledge inspired him to become the first in his family to seek higher education at a university.

Raised in Santa Rosa, California, he moved to Southern California to major in Political Science and Government at LBSU. At LBSU, he deepened his cultural roots as a member and cabinet intern for the Pilipino American Coalition, where he made meaningful friendships. He also found community in the GenExcel Mentorship Program, TRiO, and University Honors Program, gaining unique insights into campus life. Upon graduation, Achacon is determined to attend law school to pursue a legal career and tackle the systemic barriers immigrant families face.

Before college, Achacon discovered his unwavering passion for student advocacy by helping lead student advocacy coalitions in Sonoma County. In his first year of college, he served in the ASI Lobby Corps Committee, Beach Pride Events Council, Business and Finance Committee, Senate and Board of Directors.

Advocacy aside, Achacon is a firm believer in creative exploration, with more than four years of capturing his photography clients' unique stories through his lens. Like the uniqueness of each photograph captured by Achacon, he believes in highlighting the uniqueness of each student.

Achacon values collaborative leadership and is committed to amplifying diverse perspectives at Long Beach State University.
