Student Advocates to the Regents (StARs) are chosen by UCSA to attend Board of Regents meetings every other month to speak on behalf of student priorities. They are provided direct access to the Regents without the constraints of the line separating approved guests from the public audience. In addition to giving public comment during board open sessions, StARs also meet with Regents, UC Office of the President staff, and Chancellors during informal parts of the agenda such as breaks and meals.

Being a StAR provides a unique opportunity to advocate for the issues you most care about and make an impactful impression on University stakeholders. All travel, lodging, and food-related costs for the 2-day meeting will be covered by UCSA.
