The student regent is a position on the University of California Board of Regents created by a 1974 California ballot proposition, Proposition 4, to represent University of California (UC) students on the university system's governing board. Student regents serve an approximately one-year term as Regent-designate, followed by a one-year term as a full voting member of the Regents. For the 2025-26 term, the student regent is Sonya Brooks, a graduate student from UCLA. Miguel Craven, a recent UC Merced alum and incoming UC Davis graduate student, was appointed as 2025-26 Regent-designate.
