Jack made quite the name for himself as a student leader and advocate on campus. Jack was elected as the student trustee, the Student Government Association representative on the college's board of trustees serving a one-year term. Not only did this involve heavy on-campus involvement, including the 8 SGA and college-wide committees he served on, it also meant advocating on behalf of the students he served in state and federal governments. From road trips around the state of Illinois to various meetings ad advocacy events, a conference in New York City for community college trustees nationally, and lobbying for federal action with state representatives and senators in Washington D.C. His career as a student trustee ended with being selected by the Illinois Community College Trustees Association as the 2019 recipient of the Gigi Campbell Student Trustee Excellence Award.
In addition to his student trustee role, Jack restarted the OCCurrence, Oakton's student-run publication, as its Editor-in-Chief after a year-long hiatus for the organization. The new and innovative organization won an award for its digital media platform with 3 of its writers also earning awards for their work.
