Imagine a scholar who wakes up each morning, excited to visit college, but feels a heavy weight clearly due to the fact that the uniform they may be required to put on, does not reflect who they truly are.

That small piece of apparel turns into an every day reminder of invisibility and restriction. Now, with the board of trusteesโ€™ approval permitting LGBTQIA+ college students in San Jose Community College (SJCC) to put on uniforms in accordance with their gender orientation, that weight is lifted.

The approval of this coverage is a massive step closer to making the college greater inclusive. For LGBTQIA+ college students, being capable of putting on a uniform that suits their gender identification isn't always approximately style, itโ€™s approximately being visible and respected for who they may be. When the school permit this, they display that each student's dignity matters. This additionally eases the quiet struggles many college students carry.

Uniforms are supposed to unite. However, when we forget about gender diversity, we are able to motive damage instead. By giving college students freedom in the rules, SJCC proves that recognition and field can exist together.

This implementation is deemed as a powerful and forward-looking step for SJCC. Allowing LGBTQIA+ college students to wear uniforms that mirror their gender identity indicates that the institution upholds values of respect, equality, and inclusiveness. It affirms that every student has the right to a safe, comfortable, and accepting learning environment.

This move not only gives LGBTQIA+ students the confidence to express their true selves, rather, it additionally facilitates the reduce of discrimination and stigma, resulting to an extra supportive college community.

Respecting individuality through college guidelines only proves that education and equality can cross hand in handโ€”allowing college students to show their identity with pride.

With every academic year comes the call to continue the legacy of responsible campus journalism at San Jose Community College.

This year, that torch is passed on to a new group of student journalists who are ready to take on the challenge.

After an evaluative interview and skill-test, the new roster of Editorial Board and Scribes was officially formed.

Composed of passionate and dedicated individuals, this new composition of the publication is committed to uphold the principles of journalism, be defenders of truth, and fight the morass of propaganda.

Naging matagumpay ang kauna-unahang musikal na pagtatanghal ng Samahan ng Interpretatibong Naratibo at Artistikong Galaw (SINAG) sa dula-musikal na pinamagatang "Jose: Silahis ng Kahapon" ngayong ika-apat ng Setyembre taong 2025 sa Albay Astrodome.

Ang โ€œJose:Silahis ng Kahaponโ€ ay isang makabayang dula-musikal na nag-uugnay sa nakaraan at kasalukuyan sa pamamagitan ng paglalakbay ni Joselito, isang binatang nawalan ng lupa dahil kay Don Damas. Sa isang mahiwagang pagkakataon, napadpad siya sa panahon ni Dr. Josรฉ Rizal at nasaksihan ang kanyang buhay at mga prinsipyo. Mula rito, natutunan niya na ang tunay na pagbabago ay nakabatay sa kaalaman, pagkakaisa, at pagmamahal sa bayan, hindi sa dahas. Sa kanyang pagbabalik, haharap siya sa mahalagang pasya: ipaglaban ang kanyang pamilya sa marahas na paraan, o sundin ang mapayapang landas na itinuro ni Rizal.

โ€œSulit po yong gastos, bilang kabataan, marami akong natutunan sa dula. Napag isip-isip ko po na ang pagmamahal sa bayan ay hindi lamang sa salita kundi sa gawa,โ€ pahayag ni Clarrise Bola mag-aaral ng SJCC

Ang pagtatanghal ay nagtampok ng mga orihinal na awitin, masining na galaw, at makabuluhang istorya para sa mga manonood.

Ang SINAG ay binubuo ng mga magaaral mula sa iba't-ibang pangkolehiyong programa ng San Jose Community College (SJCC). | via Khim Aliza Carmen
