UP students actively shape our country’s history. To do this, we are brought together by the University Student Council. The USC is in the best position to unite our diversely talented student body and direct it towards the good of our nation. As the challenges we face change over time, so too does the USC evolve to represent the best our people has to offer.
To meet today's new challenges, the USC must evolve once more.
In the pursuit of relevant, quality, and accessible education, the USC must transcend partisanship to attain progressive change. While diverse and multi-perspective, the UP student body is brought together by a common desire to learn and serve. We need a USC that creates spaces for dialogue and collaboration. ALYANSA calls for a USC defined by diversity and united for progress, not crippled by blind loyalties and dogma but led with accountable leadership and principled politics.
To confront the threat against campus safety and security, we need a USC that will be firm in its resolve to fight all forms of violence - from petty crimes to fraternity-related incidents. We need a leadership that will go beyond condemnation and template solutions, and be open to consultation and innovative proposals. ALYANSA calls for a USC defined not by "brotherhood" but by community.
Faced with a diverse community in terms of background and belief, the USC must address the needs of each of these groups through relevant campaigns, activities, and services. Only direct consultation and engagement with our diverse student body can empower the USC to serve and represent us. ALYANSA calls for a USC defined not by petty division but by respect for diversity.
Ultimately, the USC must be an example of the good governance that our nation relentlessly pursues. To do this, we scholars must go beyond our shortcomings and tap into our infinite potential as a nation. This task is daunting, but as UP students, we owe it to the people that sacrifice for our education to take on this challenge.
The USC can be so much more because we are the USC.
