AICCU invites students and staff to join us in Sacramento for our annual Day in the Capitol student advocacy day to meet with legislators and/or their staff to discuss the important role and contributions of independent colleges and universities in preparing California’s workforce. The student voice is a powerful part of our advocacy that allows legislative members to see exactly how the state’s continued investments in higher education helps uplift their constituents.
Students, administrators, educators, and AICCU officials representing the nearly 350,000 students who attend independent California colleges and universities will gather at the Capitol to share why the Cal Grant award is integral to their higher education aspirations. They are joined by state lawmakers to discuss and advocate for investments to the Cal Grant program in the state budget.
