The student regent is a position on the University of California Board of Regents created by a 1974 California ballot proposition to represent University of California (UC) students on the university system's governing board. Student regents serve an approximately one-year term as 'student regent-designate', followed by a one-year term as a full voting member of the Regents. The current Student Regent is Josiah Beharry, a graduate student from UC Merced. The Regent-Designate is Sonya Brooks, a graduate student from UCLA.
