In view thereof, the TUP- GREEN SOCIETY under the College of Science (COS) will be conducting
activities as part of the celebration of the 23rd founding year of the College of Science from February 13-
15, 2017.

Since the TUP Green Society is the official accredited environmental organization of the University, the
projects that will be conducted will focus on activities which aim to impose high sense of sensitivity
about the current situation of the ecological world as well as to intensify students love for the
environment, in manners where they are comfortable with. These activities will circulate on the theme
“Bridging Science and Society Towards Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development”.

These are the activities to be done for the upcoming COS Week

• Essay Writing Contest- This aims to convey information about environmental conservation
demonstrated through proficiency in written communication. The essay writings of the
contestants will be posted in the Science Lobby of the University to impose an effective argument
about the responsible use of technology without sacrificing the importance of protecting the
environment.

conservation and protection.

• Extemporaneous Speaking- This aims to intensify the students love for the environment through
oral communication. Through this, students will be able to practice public speaking skills with
quality and to be more articulate about their thoughts, since environmental protection requires the

produce photographed events in our environment that needs the most attention. These photos
taken by the contestants will be presented through a small exhibit in the COS Lobby

(which are the two fundamentals area of study for environmental conservation) are still retained
on their mind. These sport-like activities complement the quality academic instruction that the
college is pursuing. The competitions will offer the contestants opportunities to demonstrate good
behavior before, during and after the games. The athletes will play with high intensity to win
medals and put into practice the true spirit of sportsmanship in their pursuit for gold.

Academic Year. This activity aims to present different environmental problems in different
localities near Metro Manila Areas. It also aims to impose the importance of research in
environmental protection.

These activities will provide opportunities to develop the character of excellence and appreciation
of the environment as the center of all life forms as well as to cultivate knowledge and
understanding through the spirit of sportsmanship, camaraderie, fair play and respect for others.
