Background
The Associated Students of UCLA (ASUCLA) at the University of California, Los Angeles were founded in 1919. The organization
focused on student government, student publications, and student services such as a bookstore and cafeteria. Today, the ASUCLA
has evolved into a four-part organization comprised of the Undergraduate Students Association (USAC, the elected representatives
of 23,000 undergraduate students), the Graduate Students Association (GSA, provides a voice in campus affairs for the almost
11,000 graduate students enrolled at UCLA), Student Media at UCLA (includes the Daily Bruin, UCLA Radio.com, the Bruin Life
Yearbook, and newsmagazines including : Fem, La Gente, Nommo, Ha'Am, Pacific Ties, Al-Talib, OutWrite and many others), and
Services & Enterprises (designed to meet the everyday needs of students and the campus community; includes major divisions
such as the Student Union, Event Services, UCLA Restaurants, UCLA Store, UCLA Photography, and Trademarks & Licensing). The
ASUCLA envisions its role as the center of campus collaboration, connection, and service to enrich the experience of the entire
UCLA community.
