KASAMA Convenes with COO and CVG to Address Key FEMSUSSCO Matters

A landmark consultative meeting took place today as the Council of Organizations (CO) and the Council of Vice Governors (CVG) convened with KASAMA to deliberate on critical matters concerning the Federation of MSU Supreme Student Councils (FEMSUSSCO).

Under the proactive leadership of President Dave Andrei A. Garbanzos, the session focused on a series of strategic proposals aimed at enhancing student welfare and refining the MSU system's governance. From academic policies to student-led initiatives, every proposal was met with a spirit of collaboration and foresight.

A fruitful discussion that bridges the gap between our different councils was the result, ensuring that the voice of every MSUan is not just heard, but acted upon. We are moving forward with a unified vision for a more responsive and inclusive federation.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀! 💜

In observance of National Hazing Prevention Week, we reaffirm our commitment to building a safe and respectful campus community. We stand together to raise awareness, promote safe spaces.

Let us work together to ensure that our university remains a space where everyone feels safe and valued. Together, we can build an MSU-IIT community that is safe, inclusive, and free from hazing.

Let’s choose courage over silence.
Let’s choose respect over harm.
Let’s choose to protect every student.
