91ÁÔÆæ

State Government Relations

Our team serves as the primary liaison between 91ÁÔÆæ and government officials. We work to:

  • foster an understanding of the role 91ÁÔÆæ plays within the University System, the state, and our local communities;
  • monitor and advocate for or against legislative and fiscal policies that have an impact on 91ÁÔÆæ and its stakeholders;
  • develop partnerships through initiatives from both the university and public sectors;
  • facilitate and assist preparation for testimonies and meetings from members of the 91ÁÔÆæ community to and with governmental bodies. 

We want to make your interaction as productive as possible and ensure compliance with state lobbying disclosure rules.
