The Undergraduate Students Association Council is the official student government of UCLA’s undergraduate students. Council meetings are Tuesdays at 7 p.m. in Kerckhoff 417 and are open to all students.

Appointments

  • Fourth-year microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics student Uyen Duong was unanimously approved as a Community Service Mini-Fund Committee member.

Agenda

  • This week’s contingency allocations passed unanimously.

Special Presentations

  • External Vice President Joelle Gamble gave a presentation about the passage of the DREAM Act. She explained that only the first part of the act, AB 130, passed on July 25. She added that the second part of the bill, which will allow undocumented students access to state financial aid like Cal Grants, has still not passed.

Officer Reports

  • President Emily Resnick met with representatives from the UCLA Volunteer Center in preparation for the school’s Volunteer Day scheduled for Sept. 20. Resnick also met with administrators to approve plans for continuation of the farmer’s market project she implemented last year.
  • Kristina Sidrak, internal vice president, met with Campus Outreach about tolerance initiative involving the Museum of Tolerance. The group is interested in getting USAC involved and will probably come and do a presentation for them in upcoming weeks.
  • Joelle Gamble, external vice president, planned a call-in day on Friday to urge local state legislators to support the passing of the second half of the DREAM Act.
  • Raquel Saxe, academic affairs commissioner, met with administrators about getting syllabi online before enrollment appointment times. She said this will give students a better idea of the work required for the class and the breakdown of the grades, which allows them to better evaluate if they want to take that class. Saxe said she hopes to have this project done by the end of the year.
  • Saxe has also met with the UCLA Alumni Association in attempts to increase alumni membership. Saxe will also be meeting with the dean and vice provost of undergraduate education in the upcoming weeks to discuss the closing of Covel Peer Learning Center.
