#iWILL: STI’s Commitment to Positive Change

In celebration of its 32^nd Anniversary, STI continues to inspire and empower students to become responsible members of society. With this year’s theme #iWill (hashtag I Will), STIers are challenged to show their willpower and be involved in building the nation by initiating action and taking the lead towards positive change.

With the growing community in social media among today’s generation, the youth can spread the word to inspire others for a better present and a brighter tomorrow. Over time, the hashtag has become a powerful platform that allows users to express themselves, share ideas online, and unite for a common cause. Through the #iWill campaign, STI challenges its students to utilize the tool responsibly and come together to use their skills, talents, and resources to initiate positive change in their own ways.  

The official launch of the anniversary theme was held on September 25, 2015, where more than 20,000 students across STI campuses nationwide marched to Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, Laguna to celebrate STI’s grand 32^nd anniversary. The event became a platform for students to display how their small acts turned to big and significant feats as the best of the best compete for the winning titles in this year’s thrilling showdown. Victors from local competitions (school level) advanced to the cluster level before reaching the national finals, where the finest talents face-off.   

Aside from the exciting rides from one of the country's most famous theme parks, STIers also enjoyed the rousing national championship of social competitions as they watched their schoolmates battle it out for the much coveted victory and bring pride to their schools.

The Enchanted Kingdom's Enchanting Events Place, opened its doors to the competition and enlivened acclaim from the students.

Battle of the Bands, Singing Idol, and Hataw Sayaw showcased the remarkable homegrown talents of student contestants with their electrifying performances. These were followed by the most anticipated pageant of the year, the Mr. and Ms. STI 2015, the search for models of excellence that embody the ideals of an STIer. The anniversary event wrapped up with a magnificent display of fireworks that left the students in awe.

  

STI not only continues to hone their students' academic potentials but also creates valuable memories that will give them a blast. As the institution stays strong in its own pledge to hone the next generation of well-rounded individuals, it supports its own students to pursue their own cause for a positive change.
