Earick Cagang
JUNIOR
MAJOR: Biomedical Sciences
Hello, my name is Earick Cagang and I am your Executive Vice President for the school year 2022-2023. I am a Biomedical Science major and one of my favorite things is to do research with bacteriophages. I also love listening to Nicki Minaj due to her ability to write music. I decided to run for EVP because I have seen the impact of student government on the student body. I also believe that everyone needs to be represented no matter their gender, race, sexuality, body shape, or financial status. If you need to talk to anyone regarding concerns about the university, come talk to me so we can plan things out for our quarterly town halls. I wish that we all have an exciting year and I can’t wait to represent the student body of La Sierra University.
