TAU conducts cultural and wellness activities for int’l students

In this time of pandemic, many of our students are having a difficult time finding opportunities to be involved in activities that can help them improve not only their physical but also their mental health. This challenge is even more experienced by international students who are not only coping with homesickness but are also dealing with limitations in terms of resources, movement, and connections within the community.

International students play a vital role in building a diverse and more vibrant atmosphere in Tarlac Agricultural University as they bring cultural, political, and historical perspectives to students and faculty members in our campus community. In lieu of this, the Office of Student Services Development (OSSD), through its Student Welfare Unit and the Student Inclusion Services, conducted a series of workshops and activities for the entire month of February dedicated to the holistic development of our international students who are housed within the campus.
