Meet Asian Student Association Club President, Aye Chan

 

Aye Chan, ASA Club President 

Name: Aye Chan

Pronouns: He/Him/His

Residence: I have lived in Utah for 6 years. 

Major: Business 

Academic goals: Get an MBA and start my own business. 

Dream job: Own a car company 

Plan B: Work at a dealership 

Why higher education? The promise of a better career.

Why SLCC? When government funds are insufficient, SLCC can assist qualifying students in paying for their education by covering the cost of tuition and fees.

What motivates you or inspires you at school or in life? My own drive to succeed. Abel Morales said: “When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump, otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life, and that I can't do.”

 “Fail, fail until you get tired of it.” 

Meaningful life or career lessons you have learned so far? Involving the community is an excellent way to spend your college career. 

Family: I live with my father and three of my siblings. 

Hobbies: Fishing, billiard, bowling, volleyball, basketball, football (soccer), camping, photography and road trips.

Awards/accomplishments: N/A

He won't mention it but Aye also was part of a FIRST robotic team at Cottonwood high school that went on to the Worlds Championship games in Houston 2019, along with Jevahjire France, BSU club president. 

Why ASA Club:  I joined the ASA club because I want to be more involved in the community and meet other student leaders. Most students, in my opinion, join clubs because they can help them connect with others, make new friends, network and have fun. Making new friends and organizing events have taught me a plethora of social and communication skills. I recently got in touch with OCA (Asian Pacific Islander American Advocates) and met even more amazing people while learning about great leadership skills.

Recognizing SLCC's 2025 Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering

The Distinguished Faculty Lecturer is a recognition of quality work by one of Salt Lake Community College’s full-time faculty and a charge to develop that work over an academic year into a public presentation. A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring. Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering Dr. Andrew Vogt’s teaching philosophy is guided by two principles, curiosity and efficiency.  “Curiosity leads us to study a topic and allows us to really understand the ins and outs of research, while efficiency is all about sustainability,” he says. Andrew describes curiosity as a pure, open-minded impulse to explore, such as the ease with which children learn new concepts with virtually no instruction. Efficiency adds maturity to that childlike impulse, creating structures and pathways for accomplishment.  Andrew’s work has alwa...
