The Quiet Wonders Along the Way
Not all meaningful moments arrive with grand announcements. Some are found in the dedication behind an achievement, the kindness shared within a community, or the opportunities created when people come together. In this issue, we celebrate Lormanians making their mark beyond borders, partnerships opening doors to new possibilities, and initiatives making learning and wellbeing more inclusive. From international recognition and research milestones to moments of gratitude, cultural understanding, and community care, each story reveals the many ways our community continues to learn, serve, and grow. These are the quiet wonders along the way—the moments that remind us how much can be accomplished when purpose is shared.
“The most meaningful wonders are not always the loudest; sometimes, they are found in the lives we touch, the kindness we share, and the difference we make along the way.”
LORMA Colleges and HealthPro Polyclinic Multi-Specialty Center Co. formalized their partnership on October 14, 2026, strengthening their shared commitment to health, wellbeing, and meaningful collaboration.
The partnership brings together education and healthcare expertise, opening doors to better access to health services, learning opportunities, and community-centered programs for students, employees, and the wider community.
As LORMA Colleges continues to build relationships with trusted partners, it remains committed to delivering quality education that is rooted in care for people and community.

On October 17, 2026, LORMA Colleges San Juan opened the universe to everyone with “Hear and Touch the Sky: A Multisensory Star Party and Space Accessibility Program,” in celebration of World Space Week and World Blindness Awareness Month. Participants explored astronomy together through all five senses: seeing through the opening lecture “Our Place in the Cosmos” with live audio description and tactile handouts, and touching meteorite specimens, tactile solar system and constellation models, and Braille and raised-line star charts. They also smelled the “Scents of the Solar System” at a sniff station recreating planetary and space scents, heard “Listening to the Stars” through sonification astronomy and Balatik storytelling, and tasted a space-food merienda in “Taste of Space.”
The evening star party at the LORMA Rooftop featured telescope viewing with live audio description, a sonification listening lounge, “Balatik and the Filipino Sky” with indigenous sky-lore storytelling, and naked-eye constellation-finding with a tactile sky map. The day ended with a group reflection and take-home tactile star maps and sonified audio files.
At LORMA Colleges, inclusivity is part of who we are. When we make the stars accessible to all, we build a culture of well-being where every Lormanian and every guest belongs. The event was held in partnership with Hiraya Collective PH, Philippine Society of Space and Astronomy Research, UPB Astronomy Society, Design Week Philippines, DTI - Design Center of the Philippines, Manila Street Astronomers, Balik Balatik, Rizal Technological University, and AdU STAR Lab.
