Meet the Officers

  • Term Ends: May 2025

    Hello! My name is Aemun Lopeyok (He/Him). I am an international student going into my sophomore year here at Heartland. My majors are Mathematics and Music. I grew up in Kenya with my four sisters and our parents before coming to the United States for further studies in 2019. As the student body president, I act as the designated representative for SGA. I also manage internal affairs within SGA and more importantly, represent the voices of Heartland students. During my freshman year, I had the privilege to serve in the Heartland Activities Committee as the Executive Director. This position opened me up to the essence of leadership in a diverse environment. I learned the value of being a good listener, teamwork and open-mindedness. It is what inspired me to push myself further into leadership in SGA. I hope to extend these values to the Heartland community through my role. I also identify with Heartland’s mission and vision. Our institution has numerous resources that improve the quality of our college experience. I aim to increase awareness of these opportunities to our students so that each of us can maximize our potential as well as provide meaningful contributions in actualizing the vision of our institution. I will work closely with the students, staff and faculty in improving student engagement through the different avenues available on campus. I believe that this aspect will deepen our interconnection and diversify our contributions both in and out of school. I cannot do all this alone of course! That’s why I’m glad to be a part of the Student Government Association which has student leaders and senators who are committed to this journey of value addition to the HCC family.

    Hello! My name is Hannah Houston (She/Her) and I am currently a second year student at Heartland Community College working towards a degree in mass media. I am so excited to be this year's Chief Communications Officer of the Student Government Association. I graduated from University High School here in Normal, Illinois in 2023. While I was in high school I did marching band, theatre, served as the president of the U-Build club, and was also an active member in journalism where I found a passion for graphic design. This passion is what pushed me to join the Heartland Activities Committee as the Director of Marketing and Online Programming during my first year at Heartland. Some of my responsibilities as Chief Communications Officer include keeping track of the meeting minutes and serving as a liaison between SGA and Heartland students and staff.

    Hello, My name is Auston Koch (He/Him), and I am a Sophomore at Heartland where I study business and play for Heartland’s soccer team. Because I was unable to participate in student government in high school, I thought that joining Student Government at Heartland would be the perfect opportunity to use my leadership skills. My previous leadership experience includes being captain of my soccer team, a Boys State participant, and a member of the Special Olympics Unified Cup team. I am committed to serving the Heartland student body, my primary objective in student government is to advocate for the wellbeing and advancement of every student while implementing meaningful and transformative initiatives.
