What is the AAUC?
The Alumni Associations of the University of California encompasses representatives from each of the University of California's nine independent alumni associations.

As an umbrella organization, the AAUC links all of the University's alumni and friends for one primary purpose: to promote the welfare of UC by fostering goodwill among public officials and the general public.

What can I do to help the University?
As an alumnus or friend of the University of California, your voice is especially important in speaking on behalf of the University. No group within the University community - not faculty, administrators, or students - can be as effective as alumni and friends in reaching public officials and promoting the needs of UC.

You can help in this effort by joining a network of advocates who are interested and active in politics. These advocates, both alumni and friends of the University, have agreed to contact their elected representatives when legislative issues affecting UC come up for consideration.

What activities would I be expected to join?
That is your decision. You are welcome to participate in any or all of the activities sponsored each year by the AAUC and your campus alumni association.

Or, if you wish, you will only be contacted on the infrequent occasions when issues of critical concern to the University come up for consideration.

The following are some of the activities you may participate in each year:

• The AAUC Legislative Conference: Each March, UC alumni and friends meet in Sacramento to discuss with their elected representatives issues of concern to the University. Check out last year's UC Day.

• Campus Legislator Visits: Throughout the year, members of the State Legislature and Congress visit UC campuses to learn more about the important work taking place on campuses and to make use of the University as an important state resource. During such visits, legislators meet with alumni, faculty, students, and administrators.

• Issue Forums: Periodically, special programs and events are sponsored on UC campuses and throughout the state to present issues relating to higher education as part of the larger public debate.
