United States Student Association (USSA) |
Mission Statement:
The United States Student Association (USSA) is the country’s oldest and largest national student organization, representing 3.5 million students. Founded in 1947 by students, USSA has been a continuous voice for students on Capitol Hill, in the White House, and in the Department of Education. USSA tracks and lobbies on federal legislation as well as organizing students around the country to participate in the official political process through testifying in Congressional hearings, letter-writing campaigns, and face-to-face lobby visits between students and their elected officials. In addition, USSA trains and organizes students to win concrete victories on their campuses- like stopping fee hikes, expanding recruitment and retention programs, and fighting hate crimes.
