About
Succeeding the Cammarian Club, Brown University’s first student government body, the Undergraduate Council of Students continues a legacy of service to Brown University’s undergraduate community started in 1893. UCS is one of three branches of the Student Government Association.
Through frequent correspondence with University decision makers, UCS strives to actively and authentically pursue student interests. Every year, UCS aspires to develop and foster collaboration between students, staff, and faculty in order to effectively communicate, represent, and build from the diversity of interests that shape this University
Although we have elected chair positions and appointed director positions, our diverse committees are open to all. Get involved in UCS today!
Our Work
Some of our most important responsibilities include:
Meeting frequently with a wide range of administrative heads to voice and advocate for student concerns
Managing the student group system
Collecting data on student opinion and concerns
Pushing for student quality of life changes that are based on principles of equity and justice
Appointing students to University Committees
Our Structure
The UCS President and Vice President serve as the representative heads of the organization in all major and general matters.
The UCS Eboard, which is comprised of all elected and appointed positions within UCS, acts as the primary and sole governing body. In all Eboard matters, the voice of every member is equal.
Most Eboard positions have their own committee through which they oversee a particular aspect of UCS’ responsibilities or life on campus. They have traditionally always been open for any undergraduate to join and contribute.
