Welcome to SPEC! The Social Planning and Events Committee (SPEC) is a branch of student government that was founded in 1989 at the University of Pennsylvania. At SPEC, we develop, organize, and plan campus wide social and cultural activities for the university community. SPEC is comprised of 9 sub-committees that include Film Society, Concerts, SPEC-TRUM (“To Represent Undergraduate Minorities”), Connaissance (to organize lectures and speakers), Pop-Up, Jazz & Grooves, Sound (for tech and productions across campus), Art Collective, and Spring Fling. Membership is not limited to a single committee; we encourage students to check out as many as they can. All SPEC Committees are application free – anyone may join at any time!
