Advocacy. It’s Happening Here.
Anyone can be an agent for change.
The University of Louisville has more than 1,000 alumni and friends who participate in the UofL Advocates Program, a grassroots effort to raise public awareness about the importance of UofL to Kentucky's future. Advocates help advance the university's legislative agenda in the General Assembly by contacting their respective legislators, and raising awareness of UofL's accomplishments in their communities.
Advocates are asked to:
- Understand issues affecting UofL and higher education.
- Write emails to elected officials.
- Write letters to the editor.
- Serve as UofL ambassadors in their communities.
- Develop relationships with their legislators.
How do Advocates make a difference?
During the legislative session, Advocates receive emails from the University of Louisville's Governmental Relations Office about upcoming legislative bills and issues important to higher education in Kentucky. Advocates are asked to communicate with legislators and other state leaders through letters, telephone calls and emails on behalf of the university.
