Since 1997, UCSF has convened Community Advisory Group (CAG) meetings to advise the University. The mission of the CAG is to (1) serve as a community advisory body and sounding board for UCSF administration on planning issues, based on both a neighborhood and a city-wide perspective; (2) assist UCSF in strengthening communication with and engagement of the public on broader issues of community concern; (3) provide essential and relevant feedback on programs, campus planning and development activities; and (4) identify strategies and actions for addressing community concerns.

UCSF CAG meetings take place quarterly on the first Wednesday of the month in March, June, September, and December at 6:30 pm.
