CPU-MIDAS Officers in their Organization Fair booth.

On February 23 and 24, 2026, CPU-MIDAS participated in the 2026 “Centrepreneur & Organizations and Fraternities Fair,” a two-day event held at the Alumni Promenade Concert Park. The participating organizations showcased their advocacies, sold merchandise, and offered fun and interactive activities for students.

This year, the Modern Interactive Digital Arts Society (MIDAS) carried the theme “Rebranded: Back 2 Golden Era,” representing its ever-changing and evolving identity while honoring the foundations that shaped the organization. This theme reflects MIDAS’ vision of continuing to innovate and move forward while remaining grounded in its history and core values. Over the past few years, MIDAS has demonstrated significant growth and sustained dedication to further development in the years to come.

At their booth, MIDAS offered a variety of merchandise, including student artist-made stickers and pins, MIDAS lanyards and logo stickers, and uniquely designed keychains created by MIDAS artists. They also featured a Live Doodle Booth, where students had their doodle portraits drawn in real time by MIDAS officers. In addition, a free drawing board was set up beside the booth, allowing students to draw and doodle freely, thereby creating a more engaging and interactive space for everyone.

The two-day fair, which brought together organizations and fraternities to share their creations and accomplishments, plays a vital role in students’ extracurricular and creative development. It provides opportunities for learning beyond the classroom setting. The event serves as a reminder of the creativity and curiosity of students—qualities that deserve to be celebrated and shared within the university community.
