*Note: I don’t know if I will benefit from this event. I am supposed to have an MA History class today from 4pm-7pm, but there is still no announcement if it will push through or not. I have filed for under time in my work for today last Friday because of this class, and once I confirm that we won’t have a class, I’ll cancel that.

(Update – I was just informed that graduate classes are not covered by this. Uh oh. I’m off to UP in two hours)

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:
