The Arizona Students’ Association will recruit members and share initiatives at its kickoff event today.

The association, a student advocate group, comprises students from the three Arizona universities. Its annual kickoff will be held at 7 p.m. in Old Main.

Association officials will give short speeches on the organization’s history and its goals for this year. Hands-on activities will allow attendees to participate, said Ariel Molk, a director for the Arizona Students’ Association.

“This year more than ever, there are opportunities to get involved in what ASA is doing,” Molk said. “This year is really going to be focused on student input.”

Students can join one of the association’s four committees with various focuses, including textbook prices, financial aid, the total cost of attendance and a UA voting initiative. Members will work with other students across the state.

“This is definitely the first big opportunity to get students excited,” Molk said.

Arizona Student’s Association is seeking students who are excited, engaged and eager to inform themselves, Molk said. She said students involved in various facets of the university are needed.
“We’re looking for a broad student voice,” Molk said.
