The Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) joined the celebration of World Mental Health Day 2025 on October 10, engaging in various activities and interactive booths. The event was spearheaded by the Office of Guidance and Counseling (OGC), in collaboration with student councils and other student organizations.

With the theme “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” IITians came together for an Advocacy Walk that began at the Institute’s Rizal Park and concluded at the Peace Park. This was followed by the official opening of wellness booths and a dance-based exercise session that emphasized the importance of maintaining both physical and mental well-being among students, faculty, and staff.

Planned activities such as Laro ng Lahi, the Photo Gallery Exhibit, and Portrait of the Heart and Mind were scheduled to follow. However, these were interrupted by an earthquake that was felt across the campus, prompting the suspension of all school-related activities to prioritize the safety of everyone.
