TRADITION

The UP Economics Society values its Tradition set by its alumni.

Ecosoc Month (EM)
A month-long celebration of the organization’s founding in September, 1958. Ecosoc Month consists of 4-5 big events – Launch/Gallery, Service Project, National Economics Summit, Grand Tradition, and a culminating event – that highlights the best of the Economics Society.

Launch/Gallery
Usually in a the form of a wild party or a formal event, Launch is the first event of Ecosoc Month, typically held on the last days of August, or the first few days of September. The Gallery, on the other hand, is visual art that showcases the society. The Gallery is released simultaneously with Launch. These events signal the start of Ecosoc Month.

Grand Tradition
