At the Learning Resource Center (LRC), Vice President for Research, Extension and Training (VPRET) Dr. Edmar N. Franquera extends his warm welcome to the students and employees and emphasizes the renewed commitment following the recent Holy Week observance and encourages everyone to carry the spirit of reflection and dedication into their work.

Meanwhile at the College of Agriculture and Forestry (CAF), College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), and College of Education (CEd) - Laboratory School (LS) grounds, faculty and students convene for the simultaneous flag-hoisting and kick off the start of hybrid classes per approval of the proposal on the revised class schedule due to extreme heat currently experienced in Camiling, Tarlac.

The hybrid setup introduces alternating class days to reduce on-campus congestion, optimize energy use, and safeguard the health and well-being of students. Fridays are reserved for asynchronous activities, consultations, make-up classes (face-to-face or online), or project work while Mondays to Thursdays remain the same for the set of classes except every morning is approved as onsite and afternoons are set for virtual classes.

This adjustment underscores TAUโ€™s flexibility and commitment to maintaining academic quality while prioritizing the safety of its stakeholders.ย

Fluttering rainbow flags, engaging cultural performances, and powerful stories of resilience stole the spotlight as Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) conducted its annual Inclusion and Diversity Festival on 10-11 April that brought together LGBTQIA+ advocates,ย  Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), solo parents, Indigenous Peoples (IPs), and international students.

Spearheaded by the Student Inclusion Unit from the Office of Student Services and Development (OSSD), Gender and Development (GAD) office, College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), Student Placement Office (SPO), and Supreme Student Council (SSC), the two-day event kicked off with interactive sessions and performances that provided avenues to foster awareness of various communities and to create safe and inclusive society.

The event fostered awareness and belonging through the insights of national leaders and advocates, including Atty. Chel Diokno who presented virtually. Onsite, Senator Risa Hontiveros, Former DA Undersecretary Ariel Cayanan, Raf Dionisio of MAD Travel, and Dax Simbol of Tarlac Provincial Tourism empowered voices, celebrated diverse identities, and motivated advocates at the TAU - Student and Alumni Center Amphitheater.ย 

The forum revolved on accessibility, solo parenting, IP rights, and gender inclusion which served not only as calls to action, but also as affirmations that true progress is rooted in empathy, equity, and unity.

Meanwhile, a colorful kickoff opened the second day of the festival as the students gathered for the โ€œPride Paradeโ€ and launched various booths at the Continuing Education Center (CEC) for the community art project. In addition, the LGBTQIA+โ€™s showcase of talent and expression captured the audience at the CEC Function Hall during the lip sync battle and inclusion competition.

Participants also savored the freshly prepared meals during Holi Lunchโ€”a spirited celebration of Indiaโ€™s Festival of Colors, symbolizing joy, unity, and renewal.

This tradition stands as a testament to the Universityโ€™s steadfast commitment to cultivating an inclusive and respectful campus for all TAUians, regardless of gender, identity, cultural heritage, or socioeconomic background.
