University of California Student Regents

Student Regents rotate in on the Board of Regents of the University of California via a two-stage process. The first stage is non-voting, and the second stage is voting. There is only one student regent (plus one "student regent-designate" ). The University of California Student Association Board of Directors, the Council of Student Body Presidents, and the Regents’ Special Committee to Select a Student Regent are all involved in the annual selection of the Student Regent. They participate in a process where three finalists are selected. The Regents may reject the list of finalists. When the finalist list is finalized, the Regents vote to select the student regent.

The current Student Regent is:

* Sadia Saifudden, UC Berkeley undergraduate student

The current Student Regent-Designate is:

* Abraham "Avi" Oved (designate), UC Los Angeles undergraduate student

Notable voting activity

During June 2013, UC Student Regent Jonathan Stein was a member of the Regents committee that selected Janet Napolitano to be nominated and presented to the full Board of Regents for a confirmation vote.
