AICUP Day on the Hill is a one-day event that brings students from AICUP schools across the Commonwealth together at the Harrisburg Capitol to advocate on behalf of their institutions and the PA State Grant Programs.  It is a unique opportunity for participants to meet with legislators and see how the advocacy process works in Harrisburg.

AICUP on the Hill FAQs

The Harrisburg Capitol Main Rotunda. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. and a press conference at Noon.

Yes! We begin Campus Coordinator meetings in January and hold them monthly until the event. These meetings cover everything from promoting the event on campus to scheduling legislative meetings and reviewing final talking points.

No, but if you have more than 4 or 5 people, you will want to let the legislator’s scheduler know so that they can find an office that will accommodate your group.

This depends on when the student’s meetings wrap-up. We do expect most to be done around 3:00 p.m.
