MSC SCOLA is divided into two sections: Administration and Programs
The subcommittees under Administration are responsible for most of the logistics and backstage portions of the conference. The subcommittees under Programs are responsible for the effective planning of the events that occur at the conference. You will find information about each subcommittee below!
ADMINISTRATION
Marketing
The Marketing subcommittee is in charge of promoting the Student Conference on Latinx Affairs in the best and most influential way. The Committee is responsible for acting as a central point of communication between the staff and the delegates. Marketing’s duties include but are not limited to maintaining the organization’s website, creating the conference image/conference flyer, creating digital signage of the flyer for events held during the conference, keeping an active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Finance, Logistics, and Operations (FLO)
The FLO subcommittee focuses on the finances and logistics behind MSC SCOLA.
This subcommittee manages all the financial logistics of the committee. This includes raising money for the team through donations, profit shares, and fundraisers. This subcommittee is ideal for those with a knack for budgeting.
On the operations side, it is all about the logistics behind SCOLA. The team takes care of hotels, food, ordering t-shirts, conference swag, as well as keeping an inventory of what supplies we have/what we need.
