About the UA

The Undergraduate Assembly (UA) is the elected, representative organization of undergraduates at Penn, charged with improving life for all students through funding, services, and advocacy.

How we work:

  1. We lobby for tangible change at Penn based on student needs
  2. We represent students to administrators and outsiders
  3. We bring students from different groups and identities together (see UA Steering)
  4. We provide services to improve student’s quality of life (see UA Services)
  5. We fund the other branches of student government and, by extension, all student groups on campus (see Budget)

How we drive impact

Each year our secretary compiles an annual report documenting all of the work done by members of the UA. Read the 2022-2023 annual report to glimpse how we drive impact across every section of Penn's campus: https://pennua.org/annual-reports.
