This year, we want to redefine what colors mean to the university

politics. It will represent each sector within our university regardless of every
students’ background. We envision an IAS Community that is inclusive in such
that every story, every voice and every idea will be listened to.

Ang aming layunin ay hindi irepresenta ang aming sarili dahil para sa
amin, ang kulay ng bawat estudyante ay kulay rin ng buhay namin. Ang bawat
liwanag o dilim ng mga kwento ay aming papakinggan, ating tutugunin, at ating
bibigyang-pansin sa pamamagitan ng mga platapormang nakahain para sa inyo,
para sa atin.

#ServiceBeyondColors is about shining light on the problem of our

studentry, intensifying the projects that caters the sentiments of our
community, and representing each color in the canvas of our university.

ii. Description of Pillars

 Pulang Itaguyod
Itaguyod is a Tagalog term that means to establish. As a student
council, we want to establish effective policies that will be forwarded to
the FEU Congress for the benefit of the student body and launch civic
engagement instigating collaborative enterprises that will involve
students not only in the university, but also in the realm of society.
Associating the color red to “Itaguyod” as it correlates to the
characteristic of being active and engaging. Pulang Itaguyod signifies the
establishment of long-term resolutions and projects that will actively
engage the IAS studentry to take part in our community.
 Dilaw na Agubay
In Hiligaynon, Agubay means to support. As the governing body
of the Institute of Arts and Sciences, we will assist the needs of every
students and give them programs that will ease the students’ life.
We related the color yellow to “agubay” as it indicates the value
of feeling bliss and having a positive outlook. Dilaw na Agubay connotes
the support of the student council to the needs of their constituents and
shed light to the problems that they are facing through platforms that
will accommodate them in a manner that would best suit their interest.
 Asul na Sabton
Sabton, in Cebuano means to understand. As leaders of the IAS
studentry, we will provide a proper avenue and listen to the sentiments
of the students, properly addressing their concerns and endeavors that
will provide an understanding of the situation both within the university
and society.
We correlated the color blue to “sabton” as it is associated to
the student council’s ability to help, find calmness, and tranquility. Asul
na Sabton represents the programs that will cater students’ grievances
and widen their perspectives in the problem we are facing.

Problem: Every now and then, the price of basic commodities increases, as well as the
university’s tuition fees. Even though FEU offers plenty of scholarship grants for financially-
challenged Tamaraws, there are still some students who resort to taking part-time job
opportunities, which the university lacks. To support this, students also need to take financial
literacy seminars on proper monetary handling.

Title: Tam Ops (Tamaraw Opportunities)
Solution: Together with the Placement Office and IAS Student council, a job fair will be
spearheaded, in coordination by all means with the Academic Organizations to make sure that
every job offer is relevant to every IAS student. In addition, there will be a seminar about
Financial Literacy that can be conducted by the WRP office and credit it as a WRP lecture.
Expected Timeline: February to March
Estimated Budget or Resources: (similar to budget during IAS Fair)
Collaboration: Academic Organizations and Placement Office
Step by step procedure/ Mechanics:
1. To be able to understand the type of part-time job opportunities that the students prefer,
a survey questionnaire will be distributed.
2. After gathering the data from the students, the council will come up with a summary of
the data that will be forwarded to the Placement Office and academic organizations in
order to partner with small and big businesses and corporations that are ideal for the
students.
3. A one to three-day job fair will be organized, where the partner businesses and
corporations will be able to hire students through booths.
4. Lastly, to fully implement the purpose of the job fair, the council will organize a financial
literacy seminar in monetary handling for students.

Effect on the student:This will help students manage their finances through having
opportunities and seminars to serve as a support to their needs and guidance in handling their
own funds.
