Some of the outreach activities conducted during the University Outreach Week, held from December 1–6, 2025, were organized by various colleges, departments, and student organizations.

December 1–6, 2025 is recognized as the University Outreach Week. During this period, students, faculty, staff, and alums are encouraged to participate in community outreach and engagement initiatives. This annual celebration, held every first week of December, complies with Republic Act No. 7722, also known as the Higher Education Act of 1994, which mandates extension—alongside instruction and research—as one of the fundamental functions of higher education institutions in the country. Extension involves transferring knowledge, skills, and technology to develop communities.
