Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors from the IT program, together with their Computer Engineering peers, actively participated in AI Today: From Talking with AI to Building with AI, a hands-on training session held last March 26, 2026, at Computer Lab 1, SPUS Main Campus.

The session was led by Mr. Rolando Luib Lanugon, founder of Scinettek and DreamArchers, who guided students through the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. The training focused on AI-assisted development, highlighting cutting-edge tools and innovations that empower students to move beyond simply interacting with AI and toward building intelligent applications with it.

Through practical demonstrations and insights, participants gained valuable exposure to modern development workflows, enabling them to create applications more efficiently and productively. The event marked a significant step in equipping future IT professionals with the skills needed in today’s AI-driven world.

LOOK: The BSIT-4 students of St. Paul University Surigao are officially stepping out of the classroom and into the real world as they begin their On-the-Job Training (OJT). This new chapter will challenge them with real tasks, crucial responsibilities, and experience, which will shape them into future professionals of the IT industry.

The Junior Society of Information Technologists (JSIT) successfully hosted its Symposium and Program Marketing with the theme “Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in Educational Outputs” on October 22, 2025, at the Senior High School Conference Hall, SPUS Newsite.

Headlining the symposium was Mr. Leo Nicholas Zotomayor, JSIT Moderator, who delivered an insightful discussion on the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the quality and authenticity of educational outputs. His talk was followed by engaging presentations from representatives of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) and Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) programs — Joemar Varona and Ramcen Tiu, joined by Jay Ann Castro.

Following the symposium, the Program Marketing segment was launched, led by Sofia Tapia, JSIT President and BSIT representative, together with Jay Ann Castro, representing BLIS. Their presentations highlighted each program’s core competencies, career pathways, and relevance in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
