USSA believes higher education is a right, and students – especially those traditionally excluded by race, gender, poverty, sexual orientation or immigration status -- need a voice on their campus, in the statehouse and nationally to assure equal access to college for all.  For more info on USSA, visit  www.usstudents.org.
