The University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA) serves as Penn State University Park's student government, and was formed in 2006 to work to improve student life for all undergraduate students at Penn State’s University Park campus. The UPUA, like the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) before it, serves to provide students a platform for representation at the highest levels of administration, government, and the public, as well as build and sponsor programs which benefit undergraduate students at University Park.
