👋🏼Last but not least, Meet the President!
“Hey everyone! My name is Jose Lopez, currently a third-year Political Science and Sociology major. I have been serving as UC Merced’s Legislative Director for the past two years and I developed Lobby Corps because I wanted to create a space for students to have the opportunity to lobby their representatives while learning about key issues affecting us students. As Legislative Director, I deal with a lot of advocacy efforts pertaining to not only our campus but all the UC campuses. I work with the Legislative Director’s from other UC campuses to advocate for undocumented, incarcerated, foster youth, LGBTQIA+, and students of color. We also advocate for issues about tuition, mental health, sexual assault, and other issues students across California are currently facing.” 💙
