It underscored CBSUA’s commitment to cultivating individuals who will not only excel academically but also become catalysts for sustainable change, addressing societal and environmental challenges with purpose and innovation.
Throughout the seminar, students were engaged in comprehensive sessions detailing the university’s Mission and Vision, giving them a deeper understanding of its core values of excellence and community service. Representatives from various departments offered in-depth discussions on crucial aspects of campus life, from promoting environmental stewardship through the Environmental Management System (EMS) Policies to ensuring student well-being via Health and Wellness Services.
