The purpose of the Caucuses is to support all Knights and create a culture of open dialogue and communication. They primarily focus on getting access to resources for the groups they represent but also focus on the well-being and safety of their constituents. They look to amplify and empower groups from diverse backgrounds and ensure that their voices are being represented within the UCF community.

The Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) Caucus aims to promote a more critical understanding of APIA issues and identity while advocating for the needs of the APIA community. By focusing on leadership development, providing educational dialogue focused on the complex heritage of Asian Pacific Islander Americans, and being a voice for the APIA community at UCF, the APIA Caucus will empower its community members to take a more active role in shaping their experiences at the University of Central Florida and beyond. It is dedicated to creating an inclusive and socially just environment where all forms of diversity are respected and recognized as integral to the UCF experience.

The APIA Caucus serves as a liaison between Student Government and the APIA students on campus. We are the direct representation for this demographic population on campus, and we also aim to collaborate with student-led organizations on campus.

Anyone affiliated with an RSO can be an official member through an ex-officio seat. Anyone that is a Student Government agent can be an official member. Any UCF student can attend our meetings and speak in an open forum.

Black Caucus is a Caucus of Student Government that advocates for students and faculty within the Black community. Through outreach and forum, we help to create a safe space to address concerns and topics that affect Black students on campus. Black Caucus also works with getting students who are represented by the caucus the appropriate access to resources they are in need of.
The Disability Caucus was created with the main goal of representing and advocating for students with disabilities on campus. Our plan is to work with various SG members, RSOs, and departments to create a forum within the student body and then work as a task force to solve issues brought up through means of legislation or bringing awareness to them by hosting events. All caucuses act as a resource for the students they represent and we will work to achieve this while also creating the most accessible environment possible for each and every student!
We will be meeting every other Thursday at 2 pm in the Student Government office. There will be a hybrid option to create further accessibility. Please reach out to the Caucus Chair if you have any questions or concerns you would like to be addressed, and if you’re interested in joining the caucus, you can find out more information below!
