The UNO-R Agriculture Program, in collaboration with the Society of Agriculture Students, organized a Send-off Mass for PRACUM I and PRACUM II students at the Earth Chapel, UNO-Recoletos, Incorporated on June 5, 2026.

The Holy Mass was presided over by Rev. Fr. Agustin Hinayan, who imparted words of encouragement and inspiration to the students as they prepare to embark on their practicum experiences. In his homily, Fr. Hinayan emphasized that agriculture students should carry with them the fulfillment of helping others and spread happiness wherever they go. He encouraged them to use their knowledge, skills, and values to make a positive impact on the communities and institutions they will serve.

The send-off activity was held to provide spiritual guidance and encouragement to students as they begin their respective practicum assignments. PRACUM I students are composed of first-year students, while PRACUM II students are third-year and fourth year students. Through the practicum program, students will gain valuable hands-on learning experiences in various partner institutions.

A total of 42 first-year students, 47 third-year students, and 2 fourth-year students will be deployed to different partnered institutions as part of their experiential learning activities. The practicum aims to strengthen students' knowledge, skills, and professional competencies by exposing them to real-world agricultural settings and industry practices.

Faculty members, student leaders, and program coordinators joined the gathering to offer their support and prayers for the students' safety, success, and growth throughout their practicum journey.

The Society of Agriculture Students successfully concluded its Post-Evaluation Activity held on May 29–31 at Sugar Valley and Training Center, Brgy. Minoyan, Municipality of Murcia.

The three-day activity provided an opportunity for the officers to assess and evaluate the goals and objectives they had set for the organization throughout their term of service. It also served as a venue for reflection, learning, and strengthening their commitment to leadership and service.

During her inspirational talk, Ms. Yna Sanglap emphasized the importance of recognizing and celebrating every achievement, no matter how small. She reminded the officers that meaningful accomplishments are often the result of consistent small actions and efforts.

Meanwhile, Society Adviser Mr. Jessan Cabunsol encouraged the officers to remember that leadership begins with service. He highlighted that the joy of serving together creates small actions that leave a lasting impact on others and the organization.

As Mr. Cabunsol shared, “The story of the Society of Agriculture Students is not written by one president, one officer, or one event. It is written by every volunteer, every voice that encouraged, and every heart that chose to serve.”

As the chapter of this set of officers comes to a close, may they carry with them the lessons learned, opportunities gained, cherished memories, and the spirit of service they embraced throughout their term. They have served the Society of Agriculture Students responsibly, passionately, and wholeheartedly.

Congratulations on a job well done, SAS Officers, Academic Year 2025–2026!🥳💚🌾

Beneath the shade of coffee trees and surrounded by nature, our UNO-R Society of Agriculture Students officers took a moment to reflect and reconnect with themselves.

With grateful hearts, they wrote down the blessings they cherish and the regrets they are learning to let go of—embracing growth, gratitude, and new beginnings, much like the coffee trees around them.
