SPEC, one of the six main student government bodies at Penn, was founded in 1990 to develop, organize, and program campus-wide social and cultural activities for the University community.

We are comprised of ten committees, each with directors and from ten to one hundred members. Membership in SPEC is open to any undergraduate interested in social planning, and involvement proves to be an exciting and educational experience.

SPEC organizes and sponsors events year-round, including Spring Fling, speakers, movies and concerts.

SPEC Film Presents VALKYRIE

 Come see a very special advanced screening of VALKYRIE

Thursday Dec. 4

7:30PM @ the Bridge


Synopsis: At the height of WW2, a group of high-ranking German officers hatched a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and seize power of the military command in order to end the war. The operation was codenamed "Valkyrie", for the emergency plan that was meant to be used in case of a revolt against the Nazi government. This plan had been modified by the conspirators to ensure their success, but for various reasons the plot failed when finally carried out on 20 July 1944. The conspirators of the inner circle were shot after a kangaroo trial or sentenced to death soon after.-- Imdb

SPEC Film Presents THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON

SPEC Film presents a special, advanced screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

When: Wednesday, December 3 at 7:00pm

Where: The Bridge (40th and Walnut)

"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be.
