The application period for the 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 has been extended until 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟏, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 (Sunday) at 𝟏𝟏:𝟓𝟗 𝐏𝐌.

𝓘𝓷 𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓮𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓣𝓸𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓻𝓸𝔀 🔮

As we welcome another academic year, we also welcome new opportunities, new experiences, and new people who will help shape the future of our department.

The 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 is now opening its doors to students from 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐬, and 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 who are willing to serve, contribute, and grow alongside their fellow students.

Incoming 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 are also welcome and highly encouraged to apply. We believe that every student, regardless of year level, has something valuable to offer. New voices, fresh ideas, and different perspectives are essential in helping our community move forward.

More than anything, we hope to build a council that genuinely represents the students it serves. 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐃 has always been more than a department—it is a community shaped by the people within it. As we begin another school year, we are looking for individuals who are willing to share their time, talents, and commitment in helping create meaningful opportunities for fellow students.

The council is not built by one person alone. It is made up of students with different strengths, perspectives, and experiences, all working toward a shared purpose: fostering a student community that is engaged, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of the department.

You do not need previous leadership experience or a long list of achievements to apply. What matters is your willingness to learn, collaborate with others, take initiative, and contribute where you can. Whether you enjoy organizing events, working behind the scenes, creating projects, communicating with students, or bringing new ideas to the table, your contribution matters.

If you believe you can contribute to that vision, we encourage you to take the chance and be part of the next 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥.

Congratulations to our very own SARFAID Council Adviser, Ar. Jill Lim! 💜

Urban mobility, accessibility, and sustainable city planning take center stage at the 9th International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research (9th ICMR).

Congratulations to Ar. Louisel Jill Lim, Architecture Faculty, La Consolacion College Bacolod, for the acceptance of the paper:

“Sidewalk Design in the Downtown Area of Bacolod City: An Assessment of Physical Quality, Safety, and Sustainability”

This study examined the physical quality, safety, and sustainability of sidewalks within the downtown area of Bacolod City, highlighting the critical role of pedestrian infrastructure in creating inclusive and livable urban environments. Through field observations and stakeholder evaluations, the research identified key factors affecting walkability, accessibility, and pedestrian comfort.

Findings revealed several challenges, including sidewalk obstructions, deteriorated surfaces, inadequate accessibility features, poor lighting, drainage issues, and limited environmental comfort. These conditions were found to negatively affect pedestrian safety and mobility, underscoring the need for improvements in urban design and infrastructure planning.

The study proposes sidewalk design guidelines that prioritize accessibility, safety, sustainability, and pedestrian-centered development. By promoting walkable public spaces, the research contributes to ongoing efforts toward creating safer, healthier, and more resilient cities for all.
