Student Lobby Conference

The University of California Student Association (UCSA) is the official voice of undergraduate students across the UC system, recognized by the California State Legislature and the UC Board of Regents. For more than 50 years, it has been UCSA’s mission to achieve education equity through collective power by advocating for the affordability, accessibility and quality of a higher education for the current and future UC students across the state.

The Student Lobby Conference (SLC) is one of UCSA’s four annual conferences that mobilizes UC students to the California State Capitol to develop advocacy skills, gain insight into pressing issues affecting students and higher education, and engage directly with elected officials to lobby for policies that shape our education, campuses, and future.

In partnership with the UC Student Association and all 9 member campuses, delegations upwards of nearly 300 students from across the UC system come together to mobilize and advocate to the state legislature on student-centered issues.
