1. Volunteerism
The Student Leadership and Volunteer Committee (SLIC) is a new signature program this semester. It was created with the goal of coordinating and planning community service projects across the campus community. Currently there are several clubs and organizations that participate in service projects but the projects are small and unorganized. SLIC aims to bring the various clubs together and allow them to work together to achieve better results in their various activities. This semester, SLIC aims to sponsor a Rebuilding Together house in the northwest Indiana area and bring over 40 volunteers together. Additionally, SLIC aims to sponsor multiple food drives in the northwest Indiana area.
2. Campus block parties

Some past FACE events include bring musicians to campus, hosting winter semi-formal dances, and Pride Week festivities. These events are meant to provide students with fun activities in which to participate between classes. This is particularly important on a commuter campus such as PNC because there is little else to do between classes.
3. Campus traditions
The annual Honors Convocation is presented at the end of each spring semester. The convocation recognized those members of the PNC student body who have displayed various aspects of leadership. It also serves as the inauguration for the new Student Government.

- Decrease fossil fuel dependence & increase student energy independence: reducing student energy consumption would have a large impact as the City of Berkeley works towards 50% solar energy by 2030 while reducing emissions.
- Establish a rolling fund for the expansion of renewables to more student: a fraction of the cost savings goes back to Helios while the majority says with the house. The rolling fund will go towards funding more student solar installations.
