Adding to the excitement was a thrilling Raffle Draw with lots of prizes generously sponsored by the PSU Faculty Association, led by the Faculty Regent, Dr. Ace John Mark Liwanag and Dr. Marie Claire Briones. Attendees also enjoyed a fun-filled BINGO game.
The much-anticipated Year-End Party, a highlight of the assembly, was a successful joint effort coordinated by the different employee sectors. The PSU-LC Faculty Club, led by its Club President, Dr. Rinovic Repollo, worked alongside the Non-Teaching Employees Association (NTEA), led by Mr. Michael Arquillano, to orchestrate the affair. The party served as a fitting tribute and heartfelt expression of appreciation for the relentless hard work, long hours, and commitment shown by both the teaching and non-teaching personnel throughout the demanding months, reinforcing the strong sense of community and fellowship that defines the PSU-LC campus environment.
This served as a tangible reflection of the campus’ commitment to SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, fostering strong internal partnerships, promoting transparency through the General Assembly’s reporting, and emphasizing unity among all personnel, PSU-LC demonstrates its dedication to creating an inclusive, effective, and accountable academic environment that is essential for sustainable development.
