UMN Undergraduate Student Government

USG is the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities' student government. We work to serve student needs on campus.

[UMN Undergraduate Student Government @USGumn]

@OmarFatehMN Thank you for your hard work and steadfast support, Senator!

[UMN Undergraduate Student Government @USGumn]

BIG NEWS: legislators in the MN Higher Education Conference Committee have reached a budget agreement that would — along with many other high-impact investments — provide for free college for thousands of Minnesota families.

Massive student advocacy W.

"Most students rely on walking to class, to the bus stop or to the light rail to get where they need to be on campus, so it’s important that they can do that safely.”

Thank you Yusra Hassan and @USGumn!

"There are people who live in the University’s surrounding neighborhoods like Stadium Village, Marcy-Holmes and Dinkytown who don’t have access to cleared sidewalks."

[Morris Campus Student Association (MCSA) @UMNMorrisMCSA]

Last night we unanimously endorsed incumbent Regent Tadd Johnson, Mary Turner, Robin Gulley, and Flora Yang to be elected to the @UMNews Board of Regents.

We hope the legislature strongly considers the student voice when determining who leads the U.

The UMN Undergraduate Student Government proudly stands in solidarity with grad students as they fight for a union contract!

University workers deserve a living wage, a fair deal, and the power to collectively bargain. ✊〽️

[UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 @umnglu]

The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! Graduate workers at the University of Minnesota are signing cards in support of unionizing because we know we are stronger together–and that the U works because WE do! Learn more at https://t.co/96X0sG5aMI

On behalf of the 35,000+ undergraduate students we represent, USG is excited and proud to support the efforts of Senator @OmarFatehMN & Rep. Pelowski in the fight for college affordability.

Join us THIS TUESDAY at the MN Capitol to rally for Free College legislation!

[Omar Fateh @OmarFatehMN]

As the chairs of Higher Education in the House and Senate, Chair @GenePelowski and I have heard countless stories about the struggles students face and the challenges in our MN college system. We concluded that it is time for Free College—NOW! Please come out this Tuesday!

Landlords can’t keep getting away with predatory lease renewal scams.

The @USGumn Government & Legislative Affairs Team is addressing student renter concerns at #mnleg!

So proud to lead our GLA team, and s/o to @ZaynabMMohamed for championing our bill!

NEW: We've advanced a resolution in support of @MplsWard2's municipal sidewalk plowing/snow removal proposal.

This program would boost safety, accessibility, and quality of life in near-campus neighborhoods and around the city.

[Morris Campus Student Association (MCSA) @UMNMorrisMCSA]

Last week University of Minnesota Regent Steve Sviggum asked if Morris had “too much diversity”, here is the response from the Morris student body President Dylan Young.

[UMN Undergraduate Student Government @USGumn]

Yesterday, our legislative forum overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution calling for @UMNews and @IBT_320 to reach a just and equitable worker contract.

Every worker at the U, student or not, deserves a livable wage. View our statement on the resolution below:

[Omar Fateh @OmarFatehMN]

HUGE: The University of Minnesota is raising their minimum wage to $15/hr.

That is a MAJOR victory! I am so proud of the young leaders and organizers with @USGumn that made this happen.

Now, it’s time for us to follow their lead and raise the minimum wage statewide in MN!

[Senator Kari Dziedzic @KariDziedzic]
