Goodness gracious, sharing is contagious!!!

The CAFSama Community Pantry is now available in the different academic units of the College of Agriculture and Food Science to support our CAFS students during this demanding part of the semester.

Pantry stations will be accessible throughout the week and will remain open until the last day of the finals week. Students may visit the pantry to get essential food and basic items that may help lighten daily expenses during exam week.

We encourage everyone to contribute what they can and take only what they need.

Let us continue nurturing a culture of care, generosity, and solidarity within the CAFS community. 💚

CAFSama Nyo Kami sa Pakikinig: Healing Through Music

Music has the power to soothe, uplift, and remind us that we’re never alone. We want to build that kind of space with you.

As part of our commitment to student well-being, we are creating a collaborative healing playlist that will serve as a companion in moments of stress, rest, or quiet reflection.

Help us shape this playlist!
Scan the QR code in the PUBMAT to suggest songs that can uplift, encourage, or comfort anyone who listens. Your recommended song might be exactly what another student needs today.

Let us create a shared soundtrack of support, hope, and community.

CAFSama Nyo Kami sa pakikinig, sa paghinga, at sa paghilom.
