Students prep for UW System lobby day

The students will meet with state legislators in 26 different offices to bring attention to student issues, according to Analiese Eicher, government relations director for United Council of UW Students.

“Politics is not like a spectator sport, and we can’t be the people sitting on the sidelines,” Eicher said.

She listed a few issues students will bring to the Legislature’s attention, including rises in tuition, budget cuts and student grants.
