We heard you, TAUians!

In response to growing calls to prioritize mental health and holistic well-being, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) administration has decided to designate 31 March (Monday) as a University-Wide Wellness Break for all students, faculty, and non-teaching staff. 

This initiative underscores TAU’s commitment to fostering a supportive environment where individuals can pause, reflect, and rejuvenate amidst the demands of academic and professional life. 

However, the University acknowledges that certain essential services may require uninterrupted operations. Employees required to report for duty due to exigency of service will receive applicable compensation, ensuring fairness while maintaining critical functions.
