For those of you who are not familiar with the Auburn University Program Council, this organization does it all! UPC organizes events ranging from movies to major concerts to workshops, lectures and comedians! And what makes UPC so unique is that it is completely planned and produced by Auburn students for Auburn Students.

Applications for council members will be due March 12. There will also be three interest meetings for those who would like to know more details. They will be held March 4 at 3:30 and March 5 at 4:00 and 7:00.
