The CLSU Executives led by University President Edgar A. Orden arranged a meeting with the University Supreme Student Council (USSC) Officials held on September 30 at DHTM Hall to address the pressing issues and discuss the request of students in relation to the implementation of face-to-face classes.
During the meeting, the USSC Officials presented their position which contained student demands such as transportation, food stalls, and other related issues.
