Class of 2023 Send-Off Party
Last September 1 to 2, the University of the Philippines Geological Society (UP GeoSoc) conducted a sendoff party to celebrate the members who recently graduated this year. The event also served as a great way to expose the new members in the planning process of face-to-face events, and a time for the members and alumni to bond as an organization.

Laboratory Tour
UP GeoSoc also conducted its annual Laboratory Tour last September 18. Spearheaded by the Academics Committee of the organization, the tour aimed to introduce the BS Geology freshies, shiftees, and transferees (FSTs) to the esteemed laboratories of NIGS where they can become student assistants and eventually thesis advisees. This was the second time that the tour was held face-to-face since the pandemic. The organization would like to give thanks to all the participants and laboratory representatives who made the event successful.
