The School of Education (SEd) student organizations took part in the Organization Festival on June 2, welcoming and engaging first-year Talaturus as they began their university journey.
This academic year, the event carried the theme โSPELLBOUND: Freshman Orientation and Student Activities Festival 2026,โ inspired by the fantasy novel Harry Potter.
In line with the theme, the College Student Council of SEd (CSC-SEd) initiated a collaboration among the student groups of the department, assigning each group to one of the four Hogwarts houses.
Participating groups included CSC-SEd, The Kaleidoscope (KLDS), The Reflection (Reple), and The Scienzophiliacs (Scienzo), which represented Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, respectively.
Prior to the organization fair, freshmen gathered at the University Chapel alongside students from the School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) for an invocation. The program opened with welcome remarks of Ms. Rowena Sibal, followed by an inspirational message from Rev. Fr. Omar Niรฑo V. Defensor, University Chaplain.
Afterward, the freshmen orientation took place at the University Theater. Covering university policies, academic regulations, grading systems, learning platforms, scholarship opportunities, student leadership, and other essential university information.
Following the orientation, SEd organizations welcomed freshmen through their interactive booths, allowing students to explore different organizations and discover opportunities to develop their interests and skills beyond the classroom.
To conclude the activity, CSC-SEd guided the freshmen on a campus tour, highlighting the facilities, laboratories, and learning spaces within the SEd department. Freshmen were also introduced to the SEdโs academic programs, majors, and student organizations, providing them with a broader understanding of the opportunities available throughout their academic journey.
Such an initiative, headed by the Eduk Council in collaboration with SEd student groups, aimed to assist first-year students in the department as they transitioned into university life.
