Description: The Student Union Assembly (SUA) is the official undergraduate student government at UC Santa Cruz.

Our Affiliation: Every year we have three representatives, one elected, and two appointed, that go to the SUA space and represent the values of College Ten. These members then come back to our Senate meetings, and give our space an update of what has been happening in the SUA. These members are our finest, who strive to hold the SUA accountable.
