UA members also lead the Tangible Change Organization. These committees meet on a weekly basis to discuss relavent issues. The UC meets monthly and consists of administrators, faculty, staff and students. Its function is to advise the President and Provost on all matters of interest to the University community. The UA welcomes all students to get involved.
Meetings are open to the entire student body.
Permanent UA members are elected annually during a university-wide election that takes place midway through the Spring Semester. Eight freshmen are elected to the body the following fall and join the other 25 members once elected. The Undergraduate Assembly does not act alone. It is one of six branches of undergraduate student government at Penn. On many issues, the cooperation of undergraduate and graduate student governments is essential.
