Warm greetings of solidarity!
The University Student Council (USC) stands as the highest representative institution of students of the University of the Philippines-Diliman. The USC represents the students within and outside the university and has the proud and historic tradition of active involvement in the struggle to defend the rights and interests of the students and Filipino people.
On June 28, 2011, from 1:00-5:00 p.m., the USC Students’ Rights and Welfare Committee (USC STRAW) in partnership with the League of College Councils(LCC) will be holding the annual Diliman Student Summit (DSS). The DSS is a convocation of students, student councils, organizations and different student formations in the vision of uniting the student body in forwarding their concerns and upholding their rights and interests.
In line with this objective, this year’s Diliman Student Summit will tackle on different issues in UP and in the education sector in general. The proposed agenda for the summit is as follows:
I. Opening Remarks
