Rooted in compassion and guided by a shared purpose, these moments highlight the power of education, wellness, creativity, and community engagement in creating positive and lasting change. As individuals and communities come together to learn, support, and inspire one another, we are reminded that true progress flourishes when nurtured with care, unity, and hope.

Bridging Communities, Building Futures:
LORMA Colleges and LGU Bacnotan Unite for Progress
A new chapter of collaboration and service unfolded on April 16, 2026, as LORMA Colleges and the Local Government Unit of Bacnotan formally strengthened their partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Led by the Municipal Mayor of Bacnotan and the President of LORMA Colleges, the ceremony marked a shared commitment to community empowerment, inclusivity, and transformative progress, witnessed by key officials from both institutions who stand united in advancing meaningful initiatives for the people of Bacnotan.
More than a formal agreement, this partnership represents a living commitment to bring academic expertise and service-driven programs closer to the community through Research and Extension initiatives.

Unplug to Flourish:
LORMA Colleges Celebrates Wellbeing Beyond Control
LORMA Colleges officially launched the Higher Education Wellbeing Celebration 2026 with the theme “Let Go, Log Off: Thriving Beyond Control,” bringing together the Basic and Inclusive Education and Campus for Learning and Innovation communities in a meaningful celebration of balance, mindfulness, and holistic growth. Held from April 20–22, 2026, at the CLI COB Function Hall and CLI Building, the three-day event gathered students from the College of Business, College of Computer Studies and Engineering, College of Inclusive Education, alongside faculty and staff, encouraging participants to release what they cannot control and embrace healthier, more mindful ways of living and learning.
The first two days of the celebration focused on conversations and activities that inspired students to reflect on emotional wellbeing, digital balance, and personal growth in an increasingly fast-paced world. Through engaging discussions and reflective experiences, participants were encouraged to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and intentional living—strengthening the importance of mental wellness and meaningful human connection within the academic community.
The celebration culminated on April 22, 2026, through “TECH-on: Technological Engagement, Conscious Consumption, and Health Habits,” where interactive booths showcased mindful technology use and healthier lifestyle practices. More than a campus event, the celebration became a collective reminder that true wellbeing is nurtured when individuals learn to pause, reconnect, and grow together in environments that value care, balance, and holistic development.

Colors of Wellbeing:
Nurturing Young Minds Through Creativity
During Wellbeing Week at LORMA Basic and Inclusive Education, students explored the healing power of creativity through meaningful artistic activities that encouraged self-expression, imagination, and emotional wellness. Through colors, patterns, and creative storytelling, learners were given safe and inspiring spaces where they could freely express their thoughts and emotions while building confidence and connection with others.
As brushes met canvas and ideas transformed into art, students discovered that creativity can be a pathway to calmness, reflection, and inner balance. Each artwork became more than a project—it became a reflection of joy, resilience, and individuality, showing how art can help relieve stress and nurture both the mind and the heart in a supportive learning environment.
By integrating wellness and creativity, LORMA Basic and Inclusive Education continues to cultivate a community that values holistic growth, emotional wellbeing, and inclusive learning experiences. Through initiatives like this, young minds are empowered to grow in confidence, compassion, and creativity—painting a healthier and brighter future for the community, one artwork at a time.
