The event aimed to guide and inspire first-year students to persevere despite challenges as they begin their journey in USeP. The session was presented by alumni and officers of the Society of Peer Facilitators headed by Ms. Ronalyn Dumandan. They highlighted ways to manage academics while maintaining a balance with social life and health. They reminded everyone that it is okay to seek help whenever needed.

The seminar was spearheaded by the Office of the Guidance Counselor of the University Assessment and Guidance Center, with Guidance Counselor Mary Ann Cacananta and staff member Marieshel Laudrin. They expressed gratitude to the first-year students who attended the event and hoped that the seminar would help nurture a positive attitude toward a successful academic year.

Congratulations on your graduation, Peers! 🎓

This is more than just the closing of a chapter, it’s a powerful milestone that marks your growth, your perseverance, and your unwavering dedication to both your studies and your service to others. As an officer of the Society of Peer Facilitators, you've been a guiding light, a listener, a motivator, and most importantly, a friend to many who needed support.

Balancing the demands of academic life while offering your time and heart to mental health advocacy is no small feat. But you did it with grace, compassion, and a quiet strength that inspired everyone around you. You have been a safe space for your peers — someone who truly understands that sometimes, what people need most is to be heard and reminded that they matter.

Your impact goes beyond the meetings, programs, or events. You helped build a culture of empathy and care, and that will stay with us long after you walk across the stage in your cap and gown.

As you step into this new season of life, may you always carry with you the same courage, kindness, and passion that made you such a remarkable part of our society. The world needs more people like you, who lead not just with their minds, but with their hearts.

We are incredibly proud of you. Thank you for everything you’ve done and for being exactly who you are.

Wishing you all the best in your next chapter — wherever life leads, we know you’ll continue to make a difference.

Congratulations,
- Society of Peer Facilitators 💚
