UFB Members
Every member is directly or indirectly elected by the Student Body and has a unique crucial role on UFB. For general questions, please consult the UFB handbook or email ufb@brown.edu. If you are reaching out on behalf of a student group, find out who your UFB representative is by consulting the sheet below.
Please note: UFB has only assigned representatives to groups which are eligible to receive supplemental funding for the 2023-2024 Academic Year (Category 2 & 3).
