For faculty and staff

Faculty and staff play an essential role in promoting civic engagement and student leadership development. We invite you to support participation in the elections by:

  • Reminding students about the election dates and process
  • Making a brief announcement in class or during student-facing meetings
  • Sharing election resources in your communications
  • Encouraging dialogue around leadership, advocacy, and student voice

We’re also sharing few digital designs to make it easy for you to include voting reminders in your outreach—whether that’s on slides, emails, or digital signage.

Your partnership helps foster a campus culture grounded in participation, representation, and shared governance. 

Thank you for helping build a stronger, more engaged UCSC.
