UST - Office for Student Affairs

LOOK: The San Lorenzo Ruiz and San Martin de Porres Scholars ended the academic year with a fun run on Sunday, May 31.

With the theme “Strides of Purpose: Beyond Distance, Beyond Limits,” the activity reminded scholars—especially those graduating this academic year—that the most important thing is not to be the first to cross the finish line, but “to finish” the race.
