COEA Days 2026 Opens with “Roots of Innovation” Tree-Planting Initiative
The College of Engineering and Architecture (COEA) of CSU-Carig officially opened COEA Days 2026 through “Roots of Innovation: Engineering a Sustainable Future,” a tree-planting and stewardship initiative held on September 14, 2026, at the COEA Area.
Engr. Oliver J. Doctolero, Assistant to the Dean and Program Chair of the Geodetic Engineering Department, delivered the welcome remarks.
This was followed by an inspirational message from Engr. John Michael B. Casibang, University Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture, who emphasized the role of engineering and architecture in developing sustainable solutions, promoting responsible resource management, and addressing environmental challenges through innovation and professional responsibility.
The activity was conducted in collaboration with the National Greening Program (NGP) Office of CSU-Carig and the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) Sub-Office. A total of 100 seedlings, consisting of 50 cacao and 50 tamarind seedlings, were planted during the activity.
The tree-planting activity served as the initial phase of the project. Monitoring and stewardship activities will continue for at least six months to support the growth and survival of the planted seedlings.
Through the initiative, COEA highlighted the role of engineering and architecture in advancing environmental sustainability through responsible resource management, sustainable solutions, and initiatives that contribute to improved environmental conditions and long-term community well-being.
