What a way to bring the College of Education together! Last August 15, our future educators gathered for a meaningful and informative Departmental Orientation 2026, a celebration of learning and leadership.
The program was opened with energy by our emcees, Ms. Althea Pangilinan, Junior Vice President, and Mr. Miguel Bundoc, Vice President for Communications, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with excitement and engagement. The purpose of the event and the important matters to be discussed were then presented by Ms. Angela Nicole Ocampo, Vice President for Academics, setting the direction for the afternoon. This was followed by the inspiring opening remarks of Ms. Samantha Roxas, which kept the audience energized and ready for the activities ahead.
Keeping things transparent and accountable, Ms. Mica Lalo and Ms. Shaira Salvador, Vice President for Finance and Vice President for Audit, respectively, presented the departmentโs financial report, giving students a clearer look into the departmentโs expenses and budget.
Students were then introduced to the Young Educatorsโ Society (YES) through Ms. Eiziah Balagtas, YES Organization President, on All About YES, including its meaning, purpose, activities, and opportunities for education students to become more involved in the organization.
Following this, Ms. Stephanie Linsangan, YES Organization Adviser, discussed the departmentโs retention policies and proper decorum, emphasizing the responsibility that comes with being part of the College of Education.
Throughout the program, the College of Education Dean, Dr. Bernadette O. Gallardo, was present to support the gathering. She also led the Induction of the YES Organization Officers for Academic Year 2026โ2027, officially welcoming the officers into another year of leadership and service.
The afternoon took an exciting turn with a surprise departmental pageant! Selected education students stepped into the spotlight to compete for the titles of Mr. and Ms. Blue Jaguars, with Mr. Mark James Geronimo and Ms. Alyanna Banzon emerging as this yearโs winners. They will proudly represent the department in future pageantries.
And, of course, no College of Education gathering would be complete without games, questions, laughter, and prizes!
Truly, the Departmental Orientation proved that learning is better when we do it together.
Hereโs to a new academic year filled with purpose, participation and leadership.
