School of Education, Arts and Sciences

As part of SEAS Week 2025, the School of Education, Arts, and Sciences (SEAS) in collaboration with the School of Business Sciences (SBS) launched the “Alay Kalikasan Recycle Hub” on October 14, 2025, promoting the theme “Empowering Youth for Environmental Innovation and Stewardship.” Students enrolled in the Environmental Science subject actively participated by collecting and selling used clothes and books. Proceeds from the sales will be used to procure seeds and other essential materials needed for the subject’s activities, reinforcing a hands-on approach to sustainability. Faculty also supported the initiative, with Dr. Ignacio contributing sample clothes for resale. All items sold passed through a quality criterion, ensuring that only usable and valuable items were offered to the community. The Recycle Hub also featured environmental awareness slogans such as “Recycling is Fun! Today, Get it Done!” and “Eco-Fiesta, Where Waste Finds Worth.” Running from October 14 to 17, with the possibility of continuing into UCC’s Foundation Anniversary, the project not only teaches environmental responsibility but also integrates practical entrepreneurship and stewardship—empowering students to innovate while serving the community.
