The Learning Resource Center (LRC) held a special meeting with selected recognized student organizations of UPLB as part of its new program on LRC COLABS or Creating Opportunities for Learning and Building Synergies on September 9, 2024, at the LRC Main Office.

LRC and the representatives of 16 student organizations discussed the details of establishing partnerships and possible entry points for collaborations in implementing projects.

Joshua Michael Jonas, a researcher at the LRC, facilitated the meeting by discussing LRC’s mandates, its 12 programs and services, and the processes on how to request technical, logistical, and other assistance or support from LRC in implementing their activities to align this to LRC’s mandate in providing academic support services.
