COSCA’s gymnasium buzzed with conversations, colorful displays, and student energy as Colegio de Santa Catalina de Alejandría, Inc. (COSCA) opened its grounds to a showcase of talent, creativity, and purpose during Org Expo ’26 on September 2, at the COSCA Gymnasium.
Organized by the Catalinan Supreme Student Government (CSSG) in collaboration with 12 institutional organizations and all colleges, the expo brought together student groups representing a wide range of interests, from academics and leadership to the arts, service, and creativity.
More than a display of booths, the event gave Catalinans an opportunity to explore organizations, learn about their advocacies, and find communities aligned with their interests. Students moved from one booth to another, asking questions, participating in activities, taking photos, and connecting with fellow students.
For many, joining an organization is more than adding another extracurricular activity to their schedule. It is a chance to meet people with shared interests, discover new passions, and find a community where they can contribute and grow.
Behind every booth was a student community built on collaboration and shared purpose. Through organizational involvement, students gain opportunities to develop skills, take on responsibilities, build friendships, and create experiences beyond the classroom.
As the expo brought together students and organizations under one roof, it highlighted a simple truth about campus life: there is more to being a Catalinan than academics. There are passions to pursue, connections to build, and communities to find.
And for every student looking for a place to belong, Org Expo ’26 offered a space to begin.
