UCSA Conferences


 

UCSA is a student membership-based organization and all UC students are apart of this association.  Each year UCSA hosts three exciting conferences to convene members to further the progress of UCSA’s campaigns, develop student leadership and offer opportunities for students to network around a variety of higher education issues.

 

UC Student Lobby Conference (SLC) brings the membership together to lobby at the State Capitol on legislation related to higher education issues.  Legislative priorities for these visits are based on the campaigns chosen at Congress. SLC provides opportunities to build member lobbying skills, refine student testimonials, and directly engage elected officials to support higher education.

Student of Color Conference (SOCC) is the annual UCSA event where the membership comes together to engage students of color in our statewide campaigns.  SOCC is our oldest and largest conference, providing a venue for student of color and allied leaders to strategize around statewide and campus-based actions and build leadership. The location and dates for the 2012 event are TBA.

 

UC Student Congress (Congress) is UCSA’s annual membership conference at which delegates from each association come together to choose the campaigns students will be organizing and advocating for in the upcoming year. The issues students choose during this weekend will be the focus of the organization and its resources for the year. Through our Action Agenda campaigns, we win victories that improve students’ lives and build power for students by investing and engaging more students in our work.
