We’re seeking UC students for the 2026-27 academic year who want to make a difference.
Lawmakers listen when students speak out and share their stories.
Join students from across UC in building support for the University and the programs that benefit UC students. As a UC Advocacy Network (UCAN) Student Ambassador, you will elevate student voices by advocating for UC priorities and speaking out on state and federal policies and legislation that impact the University and its students.
