A pandemic and a supertyphoon last week proved to be challenges that beset the staging of the 14th Gawad San Luis for Students. But last July 31, 2023, the last day of AY 2022 – 2023, marked the return of the special milestone in the life of a Louisian Student, a Student Leader, and a Student Organization that exemplified the core values of the University: that of Christian Spirit, Social Involvement, Creativity and Competence.
Indeed, it takes the involvement of the whole SLU Community and external judges, namely Darin Jan Tindowen of USLT, Dheiryl Tombali of JCI Sunflower Baguio, Melody Labawig CHED-CAR Supervisor, Adrian Fernandez President of the Outstanding Students of CAR, and Fr.
