Elected and volunteer student leaders are the collective voice of the student body and your link to sparking change at the campus, state, and federal level.
The ASI president and chief of staff oversee the Executive Cabinet which works with student volunteers, ASI staff, and community members to carry out the president’s goals. Elected in the annual spring ASI elections, the ASI president works with university, city, and state leaders to represent student interests at every level.
The voice of Cal Poly students. Student-elected representatives from each academic college sit on the Board of Directors. Reach out to your college representatives or share your voice at a board meeting.
The UUAB makes ASI-managed-facility policy recommendations while working to maintain the integrity of the University Union student body fee which students pay each semester as a part of their tuition.
