Justin Cooper | RHA President
Business Finance Major

Get involved and make a difference. Many people just go to class and stick to their dorm rooms their entire college career; however, I encourage everyone to get out and get involved with something that you are interested in to make this experience as great as it possibly could be.
I am originally from the Sacramento area and I transferred last year to San Jose State. This is my second year living in the residents halls. Last year I served as the President of CVB and I am looking forward to seeing what exciting things can happen this year. I attend Westgate Christian Church in Saratoga and am highly active there as well. I also have been dating my girlfriend Ellie for the past two years and enjoy spending time with her (she is an RA on the 5th floor of CVB). I work at Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria as a Restaurant Supervisor on Santa Clara Street and have been with that restaurant for about a year now.

With my work as President of CVB, I enjoyed getting involved in our community and making a difference in people’s lives. I felt like RHA would be the next step in that journey and would allow me to take my influence to the next level.

I really enjoy meeting new people and learning about their lives and what makes them unique. One of my main goals this semester is to learn more about the people that I live with. Ultimately, I would like to know every resident and be on a first name basis with each one of the 3,000 of them. I also would like to look into some of the issues that residents are unhappy about and make the necessary changes with those.

I am available to anyone should you need contact me at: cooper289@gmail.com
Feel free to email me with comments, concerns, suggestions, or simply if you would like to know how to get involved.

Alanna Mancebo | RHA Vice President of Administration
amancebo@housing.sjsu.edu

My name is Alanna Mancebo. I am majoring in Child and Adolescent Development preparation for teaching K-8. My dream job would be a kindergarten teacher. I love meeting new people and learning new things. This is my second year at San Jose State and I have never been happier. This year I decided to get involved and started the year off as the CVB Secretary. While that was a wonderful job I found the opportunity to join RHA too good to pass up and this semester I am serving as the Vice President of Students. I am very excited about this up and coming adventure and can’t wait for it to begin.

“ Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” - Anais Nin

I was born and raised in New York and I moved to the small town of Tracy back in 2005.  This is my first year living on campus and to get the most out of this experience I decided to join RHA.  I love to meet new people because everyone you encounter in your life is unique in their own way and they bring to your life an additional perspective.  I have made it a point in my life to walk away with a valuable lesson or piece of knowledge from every experience and every person I meet.  Being a part of RHA is a great way for me to leave San Jose State University with a fresh and diverse perspective of life.  I look forward to meeting and working with you all.

I wanted to advise RHA because SJSU Housing has some of the most
motivated, dynamic, and enthusiastic student leaders I’ve ever seen.
They provide tremendous service to SJSU residents and offer outstanding
leadership opportunities and incentives. I also enjoy guiding and
supporting student leaders who exceed their leadership potential!
