ASGC President Vi Huynh will be departing Grossmont College at the end of the Spring 2026 semester to continue his studies at San Jose State. 

After two years at Grossmont, with the past year leading ASGC and serving as Student Trustee on the district’s Governing Board, Huynh said he will be transferring to San Jose next semester to study computer science.

Huynh said he has appreciated being in a community college setting where he can engage with his community and get the most out of his education.

“One thing I’m really gonna miss is how awesome the professors are here,” Huynh said. “The professors are here to teach, so they’re not here to do a lot of research, so you get a professor that really cares about the students.”

While he said he will miss Grossmont, he hopes attending university in Silicon Valley will provide many job opportunities due to its proximity to prominent companies like Adobe and Nvidia.

It was his strength in mathematics, Huynh said, that led him toward a career in computer science, a field he has come to love for its challenges and the competition to succeed.

“It’s an impactful career,” he said. “It is something you can change the world.”

According to Huynh, his introduction to leadership at Grossmont was a natural result of his efforts to connect with his campus.

“When I first came here, I just wanted to be more active and more involved with the campus, and I got into a bunch of clubs and then ASGC,” he said.

“I clicked ‘Get Involved’ on the Grossmont website. It nothing crazy,” he said.

Perhaps a virtue of being a computer science major, Huynh said he enjoyed the problem-solving skills required for the ASGC president leadership role. “I kind of fell in love with the organizational aspect of it,” he said.

“One of my biggest achievements was the cafeteria,” Huynh said, referring to the expanded Gizmo’s Kitchen, which now operates in the location of the former Griffin Grill.

He said he was particularly proud of the new kitchen’s opening day, where they saw a record number of students. “What we served in one day was more than what we used to serve in an entire month,” he said.

After the ASGC elections held at the end of April, former ASGC Director of Student Legislation Joseph Anthony Cruz was elected to be the next ASGC President and Student Trustee, filling Huynh’s absence. 

Huynh said he is satisfied with the election results, stating that President-elect Cruz is a “very passionate person,” and that ASGC will be an “experienced board” next semester as a result of its returning members.

While Huynh said the impact of his time at Grossmont is not lost, he is excited to move to a “big city” to continue his academic career. 

“It’s insane to think of myself two years ago, versus me right now, I’m very thankful for the people and the staff,” he said. “I’m going to miss a lot of things here.”
