What does your donation support?

  • The Jason and Julia Borrelli UPUA Leadership Scholarship

    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

  • Annual Organization Retreats

    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

  • Paid Staff Members

    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

  • Administrative and Alumni Events

    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

Our Members

Rayna Alexander, the 17th Assembly Executive Director of Public Relations, has transformed our social media presence and our ability to connect with students. Hear from her firsthand about how being a paid staff member for UPUA has enabled her to be as involved in this organization as she has been.

Why are our alumni donating?

  • Erin Boas

    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.”

  • Andrew Ahr

    Former UPUA Chair of Academic Affairs | Current AIG President

    “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. “
