Board of Trustee Member
De’Sean “Dee” Chavis (He/Him)
De’Sean is currently studying Electrical Engineering at Shasta College with plans to transfer to a UC in Southern California or a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) partnered with CCC to HBCU. He is particularly interested in attending an institution with a strong Greek life, as he hopes to pledge Alpha Phi Alpha to further his commitment to advocating for African American success.
His ultimate goal is to establish financial stability that enables him to create generational wealth—not only for himself, but also for his current and future family. He is passionate about providing the financial literacy and resources needed to help his loved ones build their own paths to success.
“At Shasta College, I am dedicated to being a positive and outspoken representative for the few Black and African American students here. I understand how important it is to offer visibility and support to individuals from marginalized communities who may feel underrepresented or unheard. Through my personal experiences, I have learned the value of extending representation and creating spaces of empowerment for others, and I strive to inspire and uplift those around me.”
