The College of Forestry and Environmental Science (CFES) participated in the Student Research Congress held on June 24–25, 2026, bringing together student researchers from different colleges to present their studies and engage in academic exchange.

As part of the university's inaugural Research Congress, the two-day event provided a platform for undergraduate and graduate students to present their research under three categories: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Gender and Development.

Representing the college in the Social Sciences and Natural Sciences categories were Julius Rebuca, Jhon Lloyd Mendoza, Glaizalyn Serrano, and Jun Cres Gio. The students presented studies on Indigenous Ecological Knowledge and landscape restoration, participatory GIS-based household flood vulnerability mapping, heritage tree profiling and geotagging, and urban greening assessment. The studies featured the use of geospatial technologies and community-based approaches in examining environmental and sustainability-related issues.

Participation in the event reflected CFES's continued involvement in university research initiatives and provided students with an opportunity to present their research outputs to a wider academic audience. The congress also served as a venue for the exchange of research findings and interdisciplinary collaboration.
