Mapua promotes safe virtual space, opens conversations through Online Kapihan

 

To help students and professors manage their stress and anxiety amid the ongoing pandemic, Mapúa University has initiated an online kapihan that encourages informal healthy conversations within its community.
 
Organized by the university’s School of Social Sciences and Education and its Student Council and the Mapúa Psychological Society, students and faculty members are provided with a safe virtual space to express their concerns and be heard.
 
Psychology and general education professor and student council adviser John Christopher D. Castillo explained that the online kapihan is a virtual sit-down session where participants can have quick chats with fellow students and professors not for a lecture but for casual conversations.

Last August 18, 2020, the School of Social Sciences and Education Student Council conducted a freshman online orientation titled PSY101: Life Hacks in Mapua via MS Teams. The goal of this event is for the freshmen to know more about their program and to meet their future professors and officers from the SSSE student council and Mapua Psychological Society.

In this event, the freshmen were asked to wear their status as the student council shared some tips and advice on how to survive as a psychology student. There are three activities which the student council has prepared for this event. The first game is titled Show Me, an online version of the classic game Bring Me. Next is the Psy-connect, where the students had the chance to connect to their future professors and officers using messenger. And lastly, one lucky winner will be chosen to win the prize that is sponsored by Mapua University.
