USSA’s National Legislative Conference
March 21-24, 2009
Washington D.C.
USSA’s Legislative Conference is an annual conference held in Washington, DC, where hundreds of student leaders from across the country build long lasting relationships, are educated on up-to-date information regarding national higher education legislation and attend workshops presented by prominent non-profits on organizing around the issues students care about.
The conference culminates with the National Student Lobby Day, where students march to the capitol and meet with their elected officials, lobbying for student friendly higher education legislation.

Good news! Responding to pressure from students, faculty and staff, the Legislature last week voted down Governor Paterson’s proposal to take $4.2 million from CUNY community colleges midyear. Thanks everyone who sent an Act Now letter. It really made a difference.
Now the big round begins as the State Senate and Assembly consider next year’s budget cuts and tuition hikes – and the US Congress works through the federal stimulus package. Today the US Senate took most of the higher education funding out of the stimulus legislation, but we can still save in the reconciliation process.
