Jozef is a product of Los Angeles Valley College and was elected and re-elected as the ASB Union Treasurer in the 90's and was unanimously nominated from LAVC to become LACCD Student Trustee.

He went on to receive his BA from UCR and MA from Cal State Northridge. He is committed to the district's taxpayers and Proposition 13 and to accountability and responsibility. He is committed to full student access to education, lower unit fees, and expanded scholarship programs and can not accept the current 51% high rates of graduation failures among District's students.

Jozef Thomas Essavi will be "a Trustee for all of us".
