    Biographical / Historical

    The Associated Students of the University of California, Berkeley (ASUC) is the officially recognized students' association of the University of California, Berkeley. The ASUC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and is the largest and most autonomous students' association in the nation. Founded in 1887, the ASUC continues to operate separate from University governance. The ASUC controls funding for all ASUC-sponsored clubs and organizations, provides resources and student programming, oversees commercial activities and student services including the Cal Student Store and Lower Sproul Plaza in partnership with the ASUC Student Union, and advocates for students on a University, local, state, and national level.
