Every academic year carries countless stories of dedication, service, creativity, and leadership. Behind every successful program, every initiative, and every community effort are individuals who choose to step forward; not because they seek recognition, but because they believe in the power of serving others.
On June 20, ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐., through the College ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ข๐ฅ (๐๐๐) in partnership with the ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐ฌ (๐๐๐๐), celebrated these stories through the ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐๐๐๐โa celebration honoring the brilliance, commitment, and impact of DYCIan student leaders, councils, and organizations across the institution.
Much like stars that illuminate the night sky, the awardees of Celestia represented the many forms of student excellence. Together, they reflected that leadership is not only about being recognized; it is about creating meaningful change that reaches beyond oneself.

Beyond the awards, Celestia became a moment of reflection and transition. The ceremony witnessed the final State of the Campus Address of ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ for Academic Year 2025โ2026 ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ฅ๐๐ฒ ๐๐. ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ, who looked back on the milestones, challenges, and collective efforts that shaped the student community throughout the year.

Hosted by ๐๐๐ค๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, the Celestia Awards Night served as more than an awarding ceremony. It became a reminder that every student leader, organization, and initiative contributes a light that helps shape the DYCI community.
As one chapter closes and another begins, Celestia leaves behind a message: excellence is not defined solely by the recognition we receive, but by the lives, communities, and futures we help illuminate.
Anchored on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions and 17: Partnerships for the Goals, Celestia reflects DYCIโs continuing commitment to fostering responsible leadership, meaningful collaboration, and student-driven transformation.
The stars may shine individually, but together, they create a constellation.
And this night was a celebration of that constellation โ the DYCIan spirit.
