The UPLB Office of Student Affairs, in coordination with the University Student Council, will conduct the annual almOSAlan event to welcome the new freshmen to the University on August 11, 2014 (Monday). AlmOSAlan is a welcoming breakfast program made possible through volunteer student organizations who dedicated time and effort to serve food, drinks, and sometimes, even give freebies!
