The Undergraduate Student Government senate unanimously approved the appointment of two assembly assistant directors and one co-executive director on Tuesday night. 

Amani Onyekwere was appointed as a co-executive director and Kareny Zhonge was appointed as an assistant director for the Academic Culture Assembly. According to USG chief justice Julian Gajewski, the two positions opened during the summer, and Onyekwere and Zhonge were internally selected. 

Gajewski also said the Academic Culture Assembly’s constitution and bylaws require a vote of confidence between all members of the assembly.

“As you see on the agenda, you can see that the Academic Culture Assembly — the two nominees for that [assembly] — have a certificate of election attached to it,” Gajewski said. 

Senators also unanimously approved the appointment of Yarely Martinez as the assistant director for the Latine Student Assembly. The assistant director position opened at the end of the Spring 2026 semester. 

However, the Latine Student Assembly does not require any form of election for its members in the constitution or USG bylaws, according to Gajewski. 

“I can approve that all processes in both the government documents and the individual assembly documents have been followed,” Gajewski said. 

During the meeting, there were no reports of officers and directors, presentations or any new bills. 

In an interview with the Daily Trojan, USG vice president Diane Kim said this was due to USG being at the start of the process of  onboarding its officers while continuing to onboard general members and senate aides. 

“We want to make sure that we are not wasting anyone’s time and that all the presentations are, of course, thorough,” Kim said. “The most important thing is that we have two amazing appointments during the senate meeting of the Academic Culture Assembly and the Latine Student Assembly.”
