Meanwhile, IECEP-EVSU SC President Louigie Guillera shared that they initially didn’t expect the booth to be judged, aiming only to create a memorable experience for the student community.
“We honestly had no idea the booth would even be judged until a day before the awarding. From day one, our mission was simple, that is, to give EVSUnistas, especially the freshmen, an experience they’d remember. But it turns out, we didn’t just create a booth, we set the stage, raised the bar, and proved that IECEP doesn’t just participate, we dominate!” the organization’s president asserted.
Additionally, Guillera reflected on the challenges of the past weeks, saying the win made all their efforts worthwhile.
“It feels incredible. The past two weeks weren’t easy, with exhibits, SOE anniversary events, and even assisting our freshmen with their USWAG presentation, all while having our booth, but seeing it all pay off as overall champion makes every effort worth it,” he shared.
The booth fair, held in celebration of the university’s 21st Charter Anniversary and organized in coordination with the Supreme Student Government (SSG), showcased a wide variety of creative and engaging booths led by student organizations across the campus, highlighting the vibrant involvement, talent, and unity within the EVSU student community.
