Legislative Reception
The UC Student Association typically hosts legislative receptions during lobby days when a high number of students are in the Capitol. If you are interested in attending, please UCSA is no longer producing the Graduate Policy Journal, but may have other writing and research opportunities open.

At the Student Lobby Conference, we will recognize several Student Advocates of the Year and one Higher Education Champion for their work to promote student priorities through activism or advocacy during the 2017-18 academic year. Use the form below to nominate recipients for this honor. Nominations are due March 12. Student Advocate of the Year Higher Education Champion Student of Color Conference (SOCC) is UCSA’s oldest conference. It was created in the 1980s to provide an intentional space to mobilize, support, and empower students of color in the University of California system. In recent years, students have expressed a need to re-evaluate conference programming and planning to better meet the event’s goals. If you are interested in helping improve SOCC, please contact us. UCSA is conducting interviews to capture the experiences of underrepresented UC students living first hand through the new Trump administration. Through these in-depth interviews, we hope to provide a detailed, intersectional look into the student experience under a national polarizing political climate. We seek to determine if feelings of marginalization, vulnerability, and or resiliency by underrepresented students have recently intensified. We are no longer accepting applications to participate.Intent to Participate – Graduate Policy Journal
