The NSTP Resource Mobilization (ResMob) Fair is happening in conjunction with the University Vision-Mission Week 2026, from June 15-19, 22-23, and 25, 2026, at the Henry Sy Sr. Hall center lobby.

Organized in support of NSTP project implementation activities, the fair aims to generate resources that will benefit NSTP partner organizations, schools, and communities for AY 2025–2026. Through the collective efforts of CWTS and LTS students, faculty, and community partners, the activity transforms creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurship into meaningful support for community-based and school-based initiatives.

More than a fundraising activity, the NSTP Resource Mobilization Fair embodies the spirit of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, bringing together students, faculty, University offices, and community partners in a shared effort to support social engagement initiatives. The resources generated will help sustain co-created projects with partner communities, demonstrating how collaboration and collective action can foster meaningful, responsive, and sustainable community engagements.

We invite the Lasallian community to visit the fair, support the participating NSTP classes, and be part of initiatives that create a positive impact beyond the University.

30 COSCA volunteers from LOVE and RCYC came together on June 10 for the Core & TL Formation on the Sustainable Development Goals.

The formation featured a meaningful session on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) facilitated by Ms. Vida and Sir Leo from COSCA-LSDP, together with Ms. Jai from the University Sustainability Office (USO).

Volunteers explored the SDGs, learned about the university’s ongoing initiatives, and applied their insights through case study-based pitching activities that challenged them to think critically and collaboratively.

The day concluded with an SDG Pinning Ceremony, symbolizing each volunteer’s commitment to advancing sustainable development through leadership, service, and solidarity. May this formation continue to inspire our volunteers to become changemakers for communities and for the world.

[NEWS] Lasallians Reflect on the Goals of Laudato Si’ During World Environment Day Forum

In celebration of World Environment Day, the Center for Social Concern and Action (COSCA) facilitated a Laudato Si’ Forum that highlighted the urgent call to hear both the cry of the Earth and the cry of the Poor, central themes of Pope Francis’ vision for integral ecology.

The forum gathered experts and advocates working at the forefront of environmental stewardship, renewable energy, responsible resource management, and community development. Through their insights, reflections, and lived experiences, the speakers emphasized the need for ecological conversionβ€”a transformative shift in values, lifestyles, and systems that fosters a deeper relationship with creation and a stronger commitment to caring for our common home.

Discussions explored critical environmental issues, including renewable energy transitions, the social and ecological impacts of mining, and the role of institutions in promoting sustainability, environmental justice, and human dignity. The panelists underscored the importance of engaging diverse stakeholders in collaborative actions that advance the goals of Laudato Si’ and contribute to building a more just, compassionate, and sustainable society.

The forum concluded with a reflection and commitment-setting activity, where participants discerned concrete actions they could undertake in their personal lives, communities, and institutions. Inspired by the Laudato Si’ Goals, the participants renewed their commitment to becoming stewards of creation and active agents of ecological transformation.
