The Office of Advocacy & Student Representation (OASR) is the unit under ASUCD tasked with advocating for students on issues at a campus, state, and federal level. OASR provides a number of opportunities throughout the year for students to learn how to lobby, campaign, and talk about their needs of affordability, accessibility, safety, and resources on campus. This year, OASR will be working on a sexual assault prevention campaign, a mental health awareness campaign, and a voter registration campaign, amongst many other things. The Director of the Office of Advocacy & Student Representation also serves as the voting member for UCD undergraduate students on the UC Student Association (UCSA).
