About Associated Students
The Associated Students of the University of California, San Diego are the elected and appointed representatives of the UC San Diego student body. The ASUCSD works to promote student engagement through its services and leadership opportunities. The ASUCSD seeks to foster a cohesive community through active interaction and communication with students, the administration, and the greater San Diego Community. Our mission is to facilitate and encourage students to grow and develop through their involvement in student government, its services, and auxiliaries.

About the AS Office of the Executive Vice President
The Office of the Executive Vice President (EVP) is the central hub of legislative operations within the Associated Students of UC San Diego. While the EVP presides over the Senate and manages its 29 elected senators (5 campus-wide, 2 off-campus, 2 transfer, 2 first-year, 1 out-of-state, 1 international, 2 from each college (x8 for 8 different colleges)) and 6 executive officers, the office itself is supported by a dedicated team of staffers who ensure that the Senate functions smoothly and effectively as the legislative branch of ASUCSD.

Staff members in the Office of the EVP play an essential role in advancing the office’s mission of accountability, representation, and accessibility. They help bridge communication between senators, executive officers, and the broader student body by conducting outreach, managing records, supporting senators with their senator projects, and supporting policy research. They also help in executing the Advocacy Agenda, which is focused on strengthening student representation, accountability, and transparency within UC San Diego’s governance systems. Since the EVP oversees the Senate, the office’s advocacy work centers on empowering senators to effectively represent their constituencies, while also ensuring undergraduate perspectives are elevated in university decision-making.

By working in the Office of the EVP, staffers gain hands-on experience with parliamentary procedure, legislative writing, and project management while developing professional skills in communication, organization, and leadership. Together, the EVP and their staff cultivate a transparent, collaborative, and effective legislative environment that empowers student voices and strengthens the impact of ASUCSD on campus.
