Assumption College delegates (students and chaperones) proudly participated in the PAPJA 2026.

Third and fourth year Psychology students attended Day 1 at SMX Convention Center Manila where they actively participated in the Quiz Bee, Transcendance, PsyClips, and Undergraduate Thesis Competition.

For Day 2, seniors attended the morning sessions while juniors joined the afternoon workshops at De La Salle University, giving them the opportunity to learn from various talks and interactive workshops alongside psychology students from different schools.

We are also proud of our AC faculty who generously shared their expertise during the convention. Sir Kenny Aranas facilitated the workshop “The Focus Playbook: Using Sports Psychology to Tackle Digital Burnout.” Meanwhile, Ms. Pat Ramirez conducted the student workshop, “Why Do I Overshare: The Psychology of Boundaries in the Digital Age” and, in her capacity as Chairperson of the Teaching Psychology SIG, facilitated the workshop for teacher-chaperones entitled, “Beyond Teaching: Mentoring Students in Competitive Academic Spaces.”

Grateful for the opportunities to learn, compete, collaborate, and represent Assumption College in spaces that continue to nurture future psychologists and mental health advocates 🤍

The 19th Consortium of Women's Colleges (CWC) Psychology Undergraduate Research Forum, themed “HERizons of Change: Women Futurescaping Psychology for SDGs,” brought together students and faculty in a meaningful space of research, collaboration, and empowerment.

Hosted by Assumption College, the forum warmly welcomed delegates from Miriam College as we celebrated the voices, ideas, and research of future women psychologists committed to shaping a more sustainable and compassionate world.

More than a research forum, it became a shared space for dialogue, learning, and community — reminding us that psychology can become a powerful force for change when grounded in empathy, leadership, and social responsibility.

Grateful to everyone who helped make this gathering meaningful and inspiring for our students and future mental health professionals.

2026 Portfolio Day
“From Passion to Purpose: Advancing with Hope and Care”

Beyond the requirements, deadlines, organizational work, and presentations, this year’s Portfolio Day became a celebration of growth, courage, resilience, and transformation.

The journey of our seniors reflects not only their academic achievement, but also their heart, perseverance, and purpose they have cultivated throughout their stay in Assumption College. Their stories remind us that education is not simply about completing tasks, but about becoming compassionate and purposeful individuals ready to make meaningful contributions to the world.

As they move forward to new chapters, the Psychology Department celebrates the mark they have left in the AC community and the futures they continue to shape with hope and care. Congrats to all!
