Undergraduate Student Government

The Undergraduate Student Government (USG) at the University
of Connecticut is the group for you if you want to change your
campus. USG is the official voice of the undergraduate student
body and is in charge of managing almost $1.5 million a year
of your student fees. It has been the launch point for many
successful projects at UConn. Any student can run for office in
the beginning of the Fall or the end of the Spring semesters.
Not interested in campaigning? You can sign up to join one of
USG’s six committees! As part of USG, you’ll help better your
fellow students’ lives by representing them to the UConn
administration, as well as local and state government. Work
on important issues, improve academic life and policies, make
UConn more sustainable, or find a new goal to accomplish. If you
want to make UConn a better place for students, USG is the best
way to make a difference.
