Yesterday, the Executive Board (EB) of Samahan ng mga Mag-aaral sa SIkolohiya (SMS) introduced the Junior Officers' Committee (JCO) at M316. The JCO was organized in order to train the aspirants for the next set of members of the EB. 

"Ito yung isa sa mga legacy natin sa mga susunod na officers, yung pagkakaroon ng successorship program [Having this successorship program is one of our legacies for the next batch of officers]," says SMS President Harvey Yulo. Throughout the years, he shares that it has been difficult looking for students willing to take up the EB positions. 

For the training proper of the JCO, a series of workshops under the Documentations, Activities, Finance, Marketing and Alliances committees will be held throughout October to November. The aspirants will be required to attend each workshop. Depending on what particular committee they will excel in, that will become the basis as to what EB position they may possibly fill-in later on. 

To gain a better understanding, the following are the different committees of SMS:

Pre-Activity Documentation

Post-Activity Documentation

Finance

External Alliances

Internal Alliances

Publicity

Publication

Sponsorship

Membership

AB-Academics

BS-Academics

Non-Academics

Currently, the EB is still deciding whether or not to open the program for SMS members.
