The Social Planning and Events Committee (SPEC) is a branch of student government at Penn, founded in 1989. At SPEC, we develop, organize, and plan campus wide social and cultural activities for the university community. Membership in SPEC is open to any undergraduate interested in social planning, and involvement proves to be an exciting and educational experience.

SPEC is comprised of 8 sub-committees, each led by directors with ten to one hundred members. Through these committees, SPEC organizes and sponsors events year-round, including Spring Fling, speakers, movie screenings, and concerts. The 8 committees include Connaissance, Film, Jazz & Grooves, Pop Up, Sound, SPEC-TRUM, Spring Fling Concerts, and Spring Fling Daytime.
