What is the USC?

The University Student Council (USC) is the highest student representative body in the university, composed of members elected amongst the student body, mandated to organize and direct campaigns and activities to defend and promote students’ rights, and improve the students’ general welfare.

It also has the proud and historic tradition of active involvement in the Filipino people’s struggle for their democratic rights and interests.
