 STI 17^th National Youth Convention

The STI National Youth Convention (NYC) is back with even more exciting things to impart to STI students. With the theme, It’s all about ME, It’s all about WE!” this year’s 17^th NYC was held last January 10, 2012 at Sampaguita Gardens in New Washington, Aklan.

STI students from STI College ILOILO and STI College KALIBO are once again treated to this one of a kind extravaganza. This year’s STI National Youth Convention focuses on the students being guided through various topics that will enhance their self development to become better members of the community through three action packed presentations.

The first topic entitled “It’s all about ME, Me, Myself and I: Self Development” was delivered by Mr. Edwin Superable, a faculty member from STI College Novaliches.

The second topic, entitled It’s all about US – Making a difference, was delivered by STI College Bacoor’s IT Instructor Mr. RICKY BUNAG

Finally, the third topic entitled It’s all about WE - Me & My Community was delivered by veteran trainer and author of numerous books on Abundance, Mr. PIDO AGUILAR. 

The national youth convention aims to systematically provide opportunities that would trigger discovery, clarification, establishment, and enhancement of specific values for STI students. (http://mhelgarrido.blogspot.com/2011/12/sti-17th-national-youth-convention.html)

STI Joins Kalibo Ati Atihan Sad-sad
