Student-leaders partake in SSC’s virtual leadership training

By Arnold Dela Rosa Jr

SSC conducts a virtual leadership training to refresh and increase the leadership skills and capacity of student-leaders.

   To capacitate and empower the student-leaders of the campus, the Supreme Student Council (SSC) held a virtual leadership training on January 18, 2022 via Google Meet.

      Topics such as "Resolution Making" and "Resilient Leadership in Times of Adversity" were respectively discussed by the invited guest speakers: Mr. Aldren B. Fuentes, and Ms. Thea Lyn D. Salaya, a BYLI Board of Trustees Member faculty member from Western Institute of Technology.

    Mr. Fuentes explained that a resolution is a "document serving as an important statement, official expression, or opinion of the organization" on a matter of great importance.

However, he emphasized, "Iba iba po ‘yong format ng every organization," a reason to "acquaint yourself with the general format for resolution," such as in helpful guides like Rule of  Order.

   Meanwhile, despite the connectivity issue Ms. Salaya encountered, she pulled it off to deliver her talk.

    According to her, "adversity does not discriminate," and so, everyone needs to be resilient to have the strength to process and overcome hardship. Resilience is a product of human experience, and it is "good but overly glorified."

     "As student-leaders, we must remember that if we are educated with leadership knowledge and skills in dealing with current challenges, we can contribute positively to our university and community," Mr. James Villasis, SSC President, said.
