The UST Artlets Economics Society is sending a good luck dust to our fellow Thomasian-Economists as they take on their Preliminary Examinations for the First Term of A.Y. 2026-2027!

As you face your exams, remember to take care of yourselves, too. Don’t forget to rest, eat well, stay hydrated, and take a breather when things get overwhelming. Your physical and mental well-being matter just as much as your grades!

Padayon, Thomasian-Economists! May your hard work pay off, and may your answers be as solid as your economic principles 🫶🏻📖

This Teachers’ Day, we celebrate the professors who continue to shape our learning, perspectives, and aspirations. Beyond the lessons discussed in the classroom, their guidance, patience, and dedication remind us that education is also about challenging ourselves, asking better questions, and growing through every experience.

Today, we honor the educators who have become part of our journey as students and future professionals. May we carry with us not only the knowledge they have shared, but also the values and lessons that continue to shape the people we aspire to become. To our professors, thank you for being an integral part of our growth and for inspiring us to keep learning, striving, and moving forward. Happy Teachers' Day! 💙
