Bukidnon State University – Damulog Campus | 🗓️ February 9-13, 2026
With unity and courage, the campus community came together for National Hazing Prevention Week, a meaningful initiative led by the Guidance Office to strengthen awareness, compassion, and solidarity. 🌱

This observance reminded students that true belonging is built on respect, care, and shared responsibility—not on harmful practices. Through conversations and collective reflection, participants embraced the call to stand against hazing and to nurture safe, supportive spaces where every voice matters. 💗

💜 The campaign emphasized that saying no to hazing is saying yes to dignity, friendship, and growth. Together, we choose to protect one another, to walk hand in hand, and to foster a culture where kindness leads the way. 🌷✨

As the day concluded, students carried forward a renewed commitment: to be guardians of safety, champions of respect, and builders of a community where no one is left behind. 💫
