USC activities for Local College Councils

USC Finance Committee holds marketing seminar; rummage sale

The University Student Council's (USC) Finance Committee and UP Junior Marketing Association (JMA) organized a finance and marketing seminar for local college councils "Go the extra M.I.L.E.S: Marketing in Leadership Excellence Seminar" last June 27 in SE 111. The School of Economics Student Council participated and also assisted the USC and JMA by providing the venue and equipment for the event.

Speakers which include JMA alumni, officers, and USC Councilor Aisa King, shared tips on branding your council, project management, and efficient handling of resources.

Another finance and marketing seminar to be spearheaded by USC Councilor and UPSE student Jo Latuja will be conducted for UP organizations in July.

The Finance Committee also held a rummage sale in Balara last June 31. Although the Finance Committee's primary responsibility is to monitor and account for USC's money, the rummage sale was held to assist the Ways and Means Committee in generating funds for the USC.

The Finance Committee is headed by councilor-elect Aisa King with members councilors-elect Nina Acasio, Jo Latuja, and college-representatives Dindin Grey, Jordan Ursua, Oliver Co, and Mae Mangaong.
