A voice and a vote in the Senate
Each spring, member orgs choose one ASUC Senate candidate to endorse. When that candidate wins, the community has a senator who answers to it directly.
Funding and space for your org
Our senator and chair help member orgs get ASUC funding, book rooms and work through the paperwork, so you can focus on your event.
