the ASUC.

Find Your Cause.

The ASUC has five executives, twenty senators and a number of commissions advocating for a variety of causes that impact the student body. Fight for your community and policy positions by joining an office whose work aligns with your passions. Or, if you prefer, work with an appointed official and help improve the ASUC’s internal operations.

"In service to the student body, the ASUC challenged me more than any other undergraduate experience to push myself and be a better person. It is an organization that serves the common good of students and in doing so demands its members to rise up beyond themselves for the public good."

Evan Cui
Former Chief Personnel Officer

Make an Impact.

We’ve been making an impact on campus since 1887. Our autonomy from the university means we have the independence to advocate for students without fear of interference. Whether it’s lobbying the state government for tuition cuts or ensuring that students have access to masks during periods of poor air quality, we have a track record of success in creating tangible change for fellow students.

"The ASUC is where I developed the advocacy skills that I use in my job every day. Student leaders in the ASUC aren’t just talking about change, they’re creating it."

Rigel Robinson
Berkeley City Councilmember & Former ASUC EAVP

Build your Path.

As a first-semester member, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the ASUC Internship Program, which will equip you with all the skills and knowledge you’ll need to succeed in the ASUC and beyond. There are countless opportunities for advancement and limitless options to build your path, such as getting elected to the Senate, chairing a commission, running BerkeleyTime and much, much more.

Sofie Yang

Chief Financial Officer

The ASUC Office of the Chief Financial Officer was my first community when I came to Cal. Since Berkeley is a very under-resourced school, I wanted to be able to take the quality of my education and college experience into my own hands. Since joining, I’ve had the chance to see how club funding works and even led an acquisition. Beyond that, I’ve gained so many meaningful experiences through the ASUC including meeting people that I count as my closest friends.

"Being part of ASUC, student government for the world’s premier public university, was a fantastic opportunity to develop leadership skills. I’m particularly proud of starting the DeCal program (originally named Chataqua), which now 37 years later is still thriving and supporting student initiated classes."
