The event was a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved to gain insights into the upcoming academic year, discover the LPU culture, and establish a strong foundation for a successful educational journey.

The first day of the orientation was filled with excitement and anticipation. LPU Cavite warmly welcomed the incoming senior high school students under the Accountancy Business and Management Strand, General Academic Strand, and Humanities and Social Sciences Strand who were about to embark on a new phase of their educational journey.
