Policy Research Symposium 2017

This year at the Student Lobby Conference, UCSA is inviting graduate students to present their research to other UC students as a part of our second annual Graduate Policy Symposium, March 26. We encourage students to participate as this is a unique opportunity to present your work in a multidisciplinary forum. Presentations may take the form of 10-15 minute oral presentations, posters, or workshops. Topics may vary (research, policy, career development, education and more).

We are no longer accepting applications to participate in this event.

As Executive Director, Salih leads our staff team and organizational strategy, keeps the UCSA office in operation, supports the Board and other student leaders, and fundraises to maximize the potential of our organization. Salih also oversees planning for UCSA’s annual statewide conferences.

 

Raised in Oakland, California, Salih Muhammad strives to embody the principles of service, sacrifice, and selflessness. For much of his life, he has been committed to living toward the liberation of Black people, at home and abroad.

 

In 2009, he continued the pursuit of knowledge at the University of California, Berkeley, where he excelled as a Black student and organizer on campus. His favorite quote is from Franz Fanon, who stated, “Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.”
