SPCS Student Week

SPCS Student Week

October 19-24, 2026

SPCS Student Week is a joint project of the SPCS Student Government Association (SGA), SPCS Alumni Association and the staff of the SPCS Marketing & Engagement team. For Fall 2026, we’re observing SPCS Student Week October 19-24 as an outreach and engagement effort to connect with, encourage, and motivate students.

Among other activities during the week, classes with in-person meetings during the week will receive a shared snack and swag bag filled with tasty treats and UR SPCS merchandise for sharing.

SPCS sets aside a week each semester to celebrate its students. You are appreciated and respected for the gifts, talents and tenacity you bring to SPCS.
