Ensuring the students with effective study habits through different learning strategies, the Learning Development Center (LDC) conducted its first student symposium at the AEC Little Theater, March 7.

The said event, titled “How to bE U?,” was facilitated by the newest department of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation – Lucena City, the LDC, led by its head, Dir. Reina V. Pasumbal along with the faculty and student coordinators from different academic departments of the campus.

Dir. Pasumbal reminded the importance of learning styles to one’s growth. This includes Interpersonal (Social), Mathematical (Logical), Auditory-Musical (Aural), Spatial (Visual), Linguistic (Verbal), Intrapersonal (Solitary), and Kinesthetic (Physical) learning styles.

She emphasized that students can challenge their skills and talents to ensure their improvement and development within themselves.

“With this [student symposium], our target is that you will be able to realize how is your study effectiveness, practices, or learning exercises,” Dir. Pasumbal said.

“You always have to remember that every limitation should be challenged by your potential,” she added.
