From our humble beginnings to standing tall as a premier Center of Excellence, the Mariano Marcos State University - College of Teacher Education celebrates its 109th Founding Anniversary.

For over a century, CTE has been the home of educators, leaders, and trailblazers in the field of teaching.

Today, we look back with pride at our shared history, and look forward with a renewed commitment to molding the minds that will shape generations to come.

To all our administrators, faculty, staff, students, retirees and alumni across the globe, this milestone is yours.

Thank you for carrying the torch of excellence wherever you go.

Let’s celebrate 109 years of passion, dedication, and academic brilliance!

Happy graduation, RABBIs! Graduation marks what you did, but never forget who you are. Be gentle with yourselves out there. 🌻

Huge congratulations to our Guidance Associate, Prof. Angelica L. Abella, on earning her Master of Arts in Education, major in Values Development!

The MMSU-CTE Guidance, Counseling, and Career Center team is cheering you on as you take this next step in your academic career.

We are so proud of you, Ma'am Angge!

This month of June, the CTE Guidance Office is proud to celebrate both 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡🏳️‍🌈 and 𝐌𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡. 💚

As we celebrate, we acknowledge the unique mental health challenges often faced within the LGBTQIA+ community due to stigma, discrimination, and the need for acceptance.

Be reminded as well of the following IMPORTANT notes:
1. All graduating students are required to fill out the Exit Interview Google Form. Take a screenshot of the form as proof of accomplishment.
2. Filling out this Google form is enough. However, if you would like a face-to-face exit interview, you are welcome to visit the Guidance Office.
3. To protect your privacy, all face-to-face interviews (optional) will be done individually rather than in a group or panel to ensure that any sensitive information you share remains completely confidential and is not overheard by others.

𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠!

The CTE Guidance, Counseling, and Career Center, in partnership with the CTE Sophomore ValEd students, will be conducting the T𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 on November 18, 2025 at CTE Student Lobby.

This essential, hands-on workshop—the final output for the VALED 125 (Introduction to Guidance and Counseling) class—is designed to solidify and apply the students' theories and learnings in the field of counseling.

We are incredibly honored to be graced by esteemed speakers for this event: an 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐫, a 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭, and a 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, all of whom have proven their expertise in the field!

This training is a crucial step in preparing our students to become effective future guidance associates and counselors.

We spend so much energy looking for permission to feel good about ourselves, don't we? Let's be real dear RABBIs—waiting for that outside approval can be exhausting.

But what if you didn't have to wait? The truth is: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. Stop chasing external praise and start being your own biggest supporter.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 (𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲)

We all hate the feeling of anxiety, but here’s a secret backed by science: it's not always the enemy. Think of that nervous rush as your brain's perfectly tuned alarm system—it's what snaps you into focus, telling you, "𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬!" That burst of energy is a powerful motivational push that helps you perform better under pressure, from acing a presentation to avoiding a mistake.

The goal isn't to be "anxiety-free," but to understand the difference between 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 (which motivates and protects) and 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 (which interferes with daily life and may indicate an anxiety disorder).
