Meanwhile, John Matthew Jobo, the Ramon V. del Rosario College of Business Representative, is eyeing to hold a webinar to inform students of student-related processes and launch a learning platform to help lower batches with their academic concerns.
Support for Earth Hour
A call to action expressing support for Earth Hour was also released, encouraging Lasallians to participate in the event last March 27 from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm. The statement also called on Lasallians to support similar initiatives for the betterment of mother nature.
Held every March, Earth Hour is one of the largest global movements to spread awareness on climate change and nature loss.
The statement was approved by the Committee on National Issues and Concerns, Center for Social Concern and Action, and the Office of Student Leadership Involvement, Formation and Empowerment.
Another resolution on the budget allocation of the University Student Government for Academic Year 2020-2021 was laid on the table as the Office of the Executive Treasurer had yet to finalize the figures.
