USUAA provides opportunities to gain leadership skills and experience by serving on university boards, committees, and task groups that make UAA policy recommendations and decisions affecting students, faculty, and administration. Appointees have the opportunity to represent fellow students and make a difference on campus.

USUAA Appointees become part of the decision-making process at UAA by helping to establish and review policies, procedures, and make investments that affect the campus community.
