The College of Teacher Education led this week’s flag-raising ceremony.

After the ceremony, the National Teachers’ Month was celebrated with Jericris Desumala and Rosemarie Dawaweng of the Elementary Laboratory School serenading the teachers. September is the National Teacher’s Month and this year’s theme is “Teacher, Ikaw Naman.”

Subsequently, International Relations Office Director Rex John G. Bawang and International Language Center (ILC) Director Jhordan T. Cuilan introduced visiting students from Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan.

As part of the ILC Language Immersion Program, these students will be engaging in various activities to enhance their English speaking skills.

College of Information Sciences Dean Elizabeth P. Lascano also recognized the 85.71 percent passing rate among first-time takers and the 78.13 percent overall passing rate of the Bachelor of Library Information Sciences graduates, who took the Computer-Based Librarians Licensure Examination on September 3 to 4, 2026, exceeding the national passing rate of 75.95 percent.

BSU Government Employees Association President Donato M. Wanawan likewise provided updates for the Panmaptengan Fun Run where he requested registered runners to re-confirm their attendance.

The participant limit has increased to 400 after the approval of the La Trinidad LGU opening new registration slots only for the 3K, 5K, and 12K categories.

The fun run was initially scheduled on September 5, 2026 but was later rescheduled on September 19, 2026 due to inclement weather.

As part of BSU’s 110th Foundation Anniversary, a Bike Ride will also be held on September 18, 2026, with the route going to Kawayan Elementary School, Kapangan, Benguet.

College of Forestry Dean Nova D. Doyog also invited different offices and sectors with at least three representatives to participate in the tree planting and tree rearing activity on September 16, 2026.

In his closing message, VP for Research and Extension Roscinto Ian C. Lumbres recognized the essential role that teachers play not just inside the classroom, but in transforming lives, mentoring communities, and public service through research and extension programs.

Lumbres highlighted how educators adapt to modern challenges including weather changes, generational gaps, and the evolving need to integrate technology into teaching. He emphasized that teaching requires deep patience, long hours, and commitment across multiple roles, including administration, research, committee work, and community development. //
