The Advocacy Department of USG is charged with staying in close contact with administrators and students about issues affecting students in their area of focus. These concerns may come from data collected by Senators, administrators, individual students or student organizations.

The members of this department include representatives from cultural assemblies and offices on campus who work to create solutions to problems that represent a middle ground between students, staff, faculty, and the community. They serve as the liaison between key administrators and students, make sure students are aware of important changes taking place on campus, and increase awareness of available resources for students.  They lead university-wide committees, pursue advocacy projects, assist the USG President, Vice President, Chief Diversity Officer, and other USG members with projects, and communicate with individual students regarding their concerns.
