From 17 to 26 August 2026, the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants – Saint LouisUniversity (JPIA-SLU) welcomed Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSAc) and Bachelor of Science in Management Accounting (BSMA) students to its membership drive, marking the beginning of another chapter for aspiring accountants. Despite adjustments brought about by inclement weather and class suspensions, the organization continued its efforts to reach students through both its physical booth and online platforms.
Located at the Devesse Building Lobby at the SLU Maryheights Campus, the JPIA-SLU booth brought the theme “JPIA: Order Up Connections” to life, welcoming both new and renewing members. The setup featured designated areas for registration, organization merchandise, and freebies.
Beyond registration, the membership drive served as an opportunity for students to discover what it means to be a JPIAn. Through the booth and the organization’s promotional efforts, students were introduced to a community that provides opportunities for academic development, professional growth, and meaningful connections with fellow Accountancy and Management Accounting students.
The membership drive ultimately welcomed approximately 700 members into JPIA-SLU’s 42nd Chapter, marking a successful beginning to a new academic year. More than simply adding names to its membership roster, the drive opened the door to new friendships, experiences, and opportunities, setting the stage for another chapter of growth, connection, and breakthroughs. Such initiative is in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Quality Educaiton, 10 (Reduced Inequalities),and 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
