About Working at UCSA
The University of California Student Association is a coalition of student governments from across the UC. We are student run and student led, with all staff ultimately reporting to student leadership. UCSA educates and organizes students around higher education issues and empowers students to advocate on their own behalf for the accessibility, affordability, and quality of the UC system.
The University of California is recognized as a national leader in enrolling diverse students from a wide range of economic backgrounds. Many of the campuses further strive to support students with varied and intersectional identities which have historically been excluded or marginalized in the higher education landscape (i.e. disabled, undocumented, LGBTQIA, students of color, observers all religions), by providing programming and resource centers on campus. UCSA is likewise committed to empowering all students, regardless of identity, societal power or privilege, in advocacy to key public education decision-makers. UCSA is recognized by the UC, but maintains autonomy as a separately incorporated association.
The UCSA conducts its advocacy through consciousness-raising, participation in UC governance, and influencing state and federal policy. We run five annual campaigns seeking to bring awareness to challenges or concerns of undergraduate students, like sexual assault prevention, food an housing security, destigmatization of garnering mental health services, or increasing access to formerly-incarcerated populations. Through quarterly meetings with the UC Office of the President, selection of student representatives, participation at UC Regents meetings, and on-going conversations with campus administrators, UCSA actively engages in UC governance. UCSA influences policy through annual voter registration drives, regular testimony at legislative committee hearings, and annual conferences. Thus, the UCSA takes a multi-faceted approach to advocacy and hires staff who are able to constructively organize all of these factions and ensure students’ time and energy is utilized effectively.
