The Association of Geodetic Engineering Students (AGES) of Saint Louis University (SLU) held the Louisian GEving Back (LGB) Program on 23-24 September 2026, at the Professional Regulation Commission – Cordillera Administrative Region (PRC-CAR) Office, Otek Street, Baguio City.
The association’s multi-phase initiative aimed to support the 39 former SLU-AGES members who took the Geodetic Engineering Licensure Examination (GELE) on 23-24 September 2026. It brought alumni, engineers, and AGES members together through a simple act of giving and support.
The first phase involved fundraising led by Louisian GE alumni and other engineers. Promotional materials and social media platforms were used to share the fundraising initiative and encourage support for the examinees. The next phase involved the canvassing, preparation, and repacking of examination kits by AGES officers and members. The kits included envelopes, pencils, erasers, sharpeners, tissue, and medicines. During the GELE, AGES members distributed snacks and water to the examinees.
Through this initiative, the 39 examinees were reminded that they were not alone in their journey and that the Louisian Geodetic Engineering community continues to support them.
The activity was made possible through the combined efforts of the GE alumni, other engineers, and the AGES Executive Committee officers and members. The initiative supported SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being, SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals by promoting well-being, cooperation, and partnership within the Geodetic Engineering community.
AGES-SLU is thankful to all the alumni, engineers, officers, members, and supporters who contributed to the success of Louisian GEving Back. (Article and Photos by AGES)
