This endowment was generously started last year to provide scholarships to UPUA members so that they can focus on their academics and extracurriculars without the worry of finding another job. Read about the Inaugural Recipient of the Scholarship, Owen Haddad, here

Our retreats are an opportunity for members to develop deeper relationships with each other, build empathy in a high-intensity organization, and take a step away from campus for the weekend

Over the last two years, we have continued to pay operational staff members who are essential to the efficient functions of UPUA; we currently support six paid members including the Executive Director of Public Relations and Executive Director of Finance to name a few

This fall, we hosted the UPUA Gala which was an event designed to bring together members, alumni, and administrators to talk about the organization's priorities and structure

Former UPUA President | Current AIG Secretary

“I distinctly remember sitting in the UPUA office this time last year and seeing the excitement on members’ faces as they interacted with alumni on Giving Tuesday over text/phone/social media, and the smiles on Sarah Jordan’s and Joseph Bañuelos’s faces the next day in assembly as they reported out the tremendous support our alumni had gifted. When alumni share their time, memories, or generosity with current members, it leaves a lasting impression.

I’m so encouraged by the amazing work of this assembly and am beyond excited to witness the ways in which UPUA continues to grow for years to come. I’m thrilled to give back to the organization thats given so much to me.”

“UPUA provided me with the experience, knowledge, and skills to navigate post-collegiate opportunities. Above all, it is where I made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. “
