This year’s INSTAT anniversary celebration highlighted the milestones of the past 24 years. With the theme “INSTAT@24: 2gether 4ward to Our Silver Year”, a week-long online celebration was held from February 21 to March 4.
The anniversary kicked-off with a video presentation showing how INSTAT gracefully responded to the challenges brought by the pandemic. This was followed by the launching of the institute’s official Instagram (uplb.instat) and Twitter Account (@uplb_instat).
Following the kick-off, a fun-filled weekend happened, as the institute’s alumni reminisced their undergraduate years during the Alumni and Friends Kumustahan. The activity was attended by 40 INSTAT alumni. From February 28 to March 4, the institute held the Free Statistical Consulting Activities (FCS), which was participated in by 21 faculty members and students from various HEIs and senior high schools, and Top BS Statistics Students Recognition, in which top BS Statistics students per batch were recognized thru publicity materials posted at INSTAT’s social media accounts.
The anniversary celebration culminated with a research symposium which featured the researches done by INSTAT faculty members. The symposium was attended by about 400 participants from various organizations and institutions. This year’s celebration indeed set the groundwork for the much-anticipated silver anniversary of INSTAT next year.
