MGA LARAWAN: Nitong lumipas na Agosto 12, 2026 sa DL Umali Steps, ginanap ang “KULAYAN-UPLB Cultural Night: All Stars” bilang pagtatapos sa mga naganap na Freshie Welcoming Activities.

Ibinida sa programang naganap ang iba’t ibang porma ng sining at kultura na hindi gumagana para lamang sa libangan. Ngunit sa halip, idiniin nito na ang sining at kultura ang mismong mga daluyan na kung saan ipinapahayag natin ang katotohanan tungkol sa ating kasaysayan at ang mga realidad na ating ginagalawan.

Kung sa gayon, bitbit ng programa ang kampanya para sa aksesable at makatao na mga espasyo para sa sining, ang pagbuwag sa malubhang burukrasya na hinaharap ng mga artista ng bayan, kakulangan sa pondo, at ang pagtutol sa paggamit ng AI.

Mga pagtatanghal at salita mula sa UPLB Filipiniana Dance Troupe, UPLB Writer’s Club, Wyre Underground of UPLB, UPLB Sandayaw Cultural Group, Harmonya: The String Ensemble of UPLB, Panday Sining UPLB, Isko’t Iska, Karma Kolektib, UP Silakbo, at KULAYAN-UPLB ang matagumpay na naisagawa sa kabila ng naisaad na kasalatan sa suporta.

Among the accomplishments highlighted in his report were the university's progress in research, student and personnel policies, as well as its success in the recently concluded AUN-QA accreditation for several degree programs in the university.

He also touted the success of the implementation and redistribution of the Academic Management Information System (AMIS) with other constituent units in the UP system.

Camacho is among the four nominees vying for the 12th UPLB Chancellor position, with the selection process set to take place later this October.

TINGNAN: Sa pagpapatuloy ng , binigyang-diin ni UP Los Baños CEM SC Chairperson Red Xavier Macarandang ang mga isyung kinakaharap ng College of Economics and Management (CEM), sa isang manipestasyon ngayong araw, Agosto 8, sa UP Mindanao at via Zoom.

Pinabulaanan ni Macarandang ang mga polisiyang naglilimita sa karapatan sa edukasyon ng mga estudyante, kagaya ng No Singko Policy sa AA Entrepreneurship program at retention policy sa mga estudyante ng BS Accountacy. Iginiit nya na sa presensya ng mga ganitong polisiya at lumalala pang krisis sa lipunan at ekonomiya, higit na kailangan ng mga UP constituent units (CUs) ang isang student regent (SR) na "handang umupo, makinig, at i-forward ang tunay na kalagayan ng ating mga estudyante."

Ipinakita naman nya ang pagsuporta kay UPLB SR Nominee Dylen Solomo na nakasama ng CEM SC sa paglalapit ng mga hinaing nito sa administrasyon ng kolehiyo.
