INVOLVED
Volunteer
advocacy is at the core of UCLA's Government Relations Program.
Working closely with the UCLA Alumni Association, the UCLA Government
Relations Program is committed to incorporating volunteer advocates
into every phase of Government Relations programming, including
planning, implementation and the review of program activities. Among
the key advocacy programs are:
BRUIN
CAUCUS
Bruin Caucus members, currently more than 1,400, are asked to contact
elected officeholders and other government officials to advance
the mission of UC and UCLA, often in support of state and federal
funding of UC programs. Bruin Caucus seeks to inform and educate
a broad base of supporters through periodic mailings and a quarterly
newsletter.
DISTRICT
OFFICE OUTREACH
Volunteers meet in a legislator's district office or at UCLA-affiliated
sites in the district to discuss issues of mutual interest to the
legislator and the university. Volunteers are assigned according
to their relationship to an individual legislator (i.e., a constituent,
contributor, acquaintance, etc.).
LEGISLATOR
TO CAMPUS VISITS
Volunteers assist UCLA staff in hosting legislator visits to UCLA
to familiarize federal, state and local officeholders with the research,
instructional and public-service activities being conducted on campus.
The visits routinely include a meeting with the legislator and UCLA
administrators, faculty and volunteers, who are alumni, friends,
constituents or supporters of the legislator.
