University of Cagayan Valley (UCV) Guidance Center held a Community Involvement seminar last Feb. 10, 2016 at the Greyhounds Gymnasium, UCV Balzain Campus, with the theme “Making Difference: Imparting knowledge, sharing love, helping others.”

In order to accommodate the thousands of second and third year students from the schools and colleges of the university, the seminar was divided into two sessions – second years in the morning, and third years in the afternoon.

The community involvement and development seminar aims to enable students to share their time and energy to help the academe and the community by building student initiative.

Needs assessment survey results show that students need to be more involved in community development.

Guidance says that they “[came] up with this seminar based on [a] needs assessment survey…” filled-out by second and third year students from all departments of the university.

Former guidance counselor of Saint Paul University Philippines (SPUP) Lumine Plena Hernandez-Umoso was the resource speaker during the seminar. Umoso is a former Cagayan State University (CSU) and University of Saint Louis (USL) instructor, as well as a youth leader who has been active in the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao, SPUP theater guild, and the Coro de San Jacinto.
