In this blessed month of Ramadan, we were given the opportunity to share not only food for Iftar but also kindness, unity, and sincere service to the community. This initiative was made possible through the collective effort and contribution of our organization.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our respected teacher, Jardine M. Abdulpatta, for being with us during the activity and for continuously guiding and supporting us. Your presence truly encouraged us to lead with dedication and purpose.

We also sincerely acknowledge our Dean, Jul-asri A. Hadjibun, for his unwavering support and leadership. Even though he was not physically present during the activity, his guidance and trust in our organization inspired us to carry out this meaningful initiative successfully.

To all the students and officers who shared their time, effort, and resources — this success belongs to all of us. May Allah (s,w,t) accept our sacrifices, reward our intentions, and continue to bless our organization with strength, unity, and sincerity in serving the community.

Ramadan Mubarak to everyone. 🌙✨

On the 15th of February 2026, our organization participated in this meaningful activity by cleaning and taking care of our assigned area of the College of Public Affairs. Even though we were only a small group, everyone showed willingness to help and do their part in making our surroundings cleaner and more organized.

The activity may have been simple, but it was a reminder that real change doesn’t always require a big crowd. Sometimes, it starts with a few people who are ready to take action and give their time for the good of the community. Through cooperation and shared effort, we were able to finish the task and make our area more pleasant and comfortable.

Moments like this remind us that maintaining cleanliness is a responsibility we all share, no matter how big or small our contribution may be. It also gave us time to bond, work together, and appreciate the value of teamwork and service.

We are grateful to everyone who took part in this activity. Your effort and dedication truly made a difference. Let us continue to support initiatives that promote care for our environment and community. 💚💙

Alhamdulillah!

Today, our College had the opportunity to attend the Ramadhan Preparation & Spiritual Renewal Symposium held at Rajah Baginda Auditorium. It was truly a meaningful and reflective gathering as we were reminded of the importance of preparing ourselves spiritually for the blessed month of Ramadhan.

We would like to sincerely thanks the organizers and spearheading associations for making this symposium possible and successful. Your dedication in guiding students toward spiritual growth is highly appreciated.

Special thanks as well to our Officers for assisting and helping facilitate the students during the event. Your effort, cooperation, and commitment made our participation smooth and organized.

May we all enter Ramadhan with sincere hearts, strengthened faith, and renewed intentions. ✨🌙

“Leadership goes beyond roles and responsibilities, it’s about serving with purpose and creating meaningful change within our community.”

As we present the Student Leaders of the College of Public Affairs for the Academic Year 2025–2026, we look forward to a year filled with dedication, collaboration, and a renewed commitment to public service.

Guided by a shared mission, our leaders step into their roles with the vision of strengthening a community that values participation, transparency, and genuine service. We believe that leadership in public affairs is not just about decision-making, but about understanding the needs of our students and working together to address them.

With collective passion and determination, we aim to create programs and opportunities that empower our fellow CPA students, support their growth, and foster a culture of unity and inclusiveness. Every initiative we pursue is rooted in the belief that even small actions can create lasting, positive impact.

As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of this academic year, we remain anchored in the core values of integrity, humility, and accountable leadership. We strive to build a community that embodies what public service truly means — service with purpose, empathy, and heart.

May this academic year be filled with meaningful service, empowered voices, and a stronger commitment to shaping a better community for all students of the College of Public Affairs.
