SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE
Rationale
The University Student Councils objective is to engage the student body in activities that promote and develop the university
spirit and uphold the ideals of the university, |through activities that aim to achieve a critical mass in the consciousness throughthe magnitude of the impact of the events themselves.
The Special Events Committee aims to provide avenues to accomplish these goals and ensure a stronger sense of camaraderie
and community through activities that actively involve students. Events spearheaded by this committee will ensure a feeling of
belongingness.
Special events are defined as activities or undertakings that require extensive logistical, financial, strategic and marketing efforts,
as well as comprehensive promotions and publicity. They are not merely activities that can be calendared or integrated quickly
into the USCs roster of activities without disrupting the established timeline and parameters of said activities. That is why it is
essential to create a committee that is steadfast in providing an environment that fosters the UP identity. The Special EventsCommittee is tasked to handle the yearly events sponsored by the USC.

university for the direct benefit of the student body
