Lawmakers listen when students speak out and share their stories.
Join students from across UC in building state and federal support for the University and programs that benefit UC students. As a UC Advocacy Network (UCAN) Student Ambassador, you will represent student voices while advocating for UC interests with government leaders, and speaking out on state and federal policies and legislation that impact the University and its students. Join us and help lawmakers hear and understand the student point of view!
