Chamber Student Network (CSN) alumni Astrid Villalobos Chavez has been hired as Front Range Community College Administrative Support for Dr. Chris McGilvray and the School of Manufacturing, Automotive, Welding, HVAC & Highway Management.

Astrid was on the Leadership Team 2019-2022 for the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce CSN program. A program under the Chamber’s Education Committee, CSN is available to area students high school and above. CSN’s goal is to build connections within the community between students, educators, and businesses. CSN students are able to attend CSN events as well as Chamber-member events. CSN Leadership can tap into the Chamber’s business community for event speakers, mentors and internship opportunities.

Astrid has years of experience working for the City of Longmont as a Sustainability Program Assistant along with working as a community/business liaison to assist small business owners in making social, economic, and environmental improvements in order to promote sustainability.

Astrid is thrilled to return to FRCC, saying, “My professional development began through Front Range Community College (FRCC) and The Chamber Student Network (CSN). Thanks to my advisors, Dr. Chris McGilvray and Jim Vernon at the CSN, my public speaking, writing, and leadership skills flourished. I was able to become a leader amongst my peers and even excel in my academics and professional career. Today I have the opportunity to continue learning from Chris at the School of MACT at FRCC and continue my passion for education and supporting the Hispanic and Latinx community in Boulder County.”

Dr. Chris McGilvray added, “Community involvement has always been a priority for Astrid, volunteering for the Latino Chamber of Commerce, Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce, Chamber Student Network. Astrid was also a member of the Student Government Association while enrolled at Front Range Community College in Boulder County. Astrid is currently studying law at the University of Colorado – Denver. I’m excited to welcome Astrid to the FRCC team.
