Alliance is a coalition of student leaders who want to serve all students and organizations of UC Merced through responsive governance in the Associated Students of the University of California, Merced. We have three core values: Leadership, Integrity, and Diversity. Leadership
Alliance candidates are “servant leaders.” We believe that to lead is to serve. As elected representatives, Alliance memb
ers will serve the interests of students, not the interests of themselves. Our mission is to get students involved in the governing process of ASUCM by creating an environment that will foster the development of new campus leaders. Integrity
It is important that as elected student leaders we are upheld to the highest of moral standards. Integrity encompasses a wide set of different beliefs, but at its core is being an honest individual. Alliance strives to have honest student leaders who represent you and your ideas; officials who have strong moral principles and can make decisions that are right for their constituents. If elected, we will put in place effective means of accountability in order to ensure that integrity is upheld in ASUCM. Diversity
The candidates of Alliance are a diverse group of student leaders from every corner of UC Merced undergraduate life. From community service clubs to professional organizations, and from social fraternities to religious groups, Alliance members represent all student interests. Alliance supports a diverse group of elected officials because ASUCM needs to understand the diverse population of students that we serve.
